Those small yogurt containers work great for seed starting, individual toothbrush cups or storage for paintbrushes etc...the bigger cottage cheese containers I used to make those upside down tomato plant growers...I simply pokes two holes near the top and fashioned a hanger, then cut a hole in the bottom, put the plant through the hole, filled it with dirt and hung it up near a window...now the kids can see the plant grow, it is up out of reach, and won't get knocked over! Also any plastic container with the bottom cut off makes an awesome bubble blower that makes those really big bubbles.
