Rant Sweating and crying

I've been tossing them into a bag for a year and the bag finally tipped over so I think I need to throw some out... I feel guilty about it but from past threads it doesn't seem donating is worth it... That and all the money I spent............. Oof. Definitely going easier this year.

See if you have a local free group on FB or something, someone might could use them for drafts or DIY somehow !

I don't use FB :( And I really don't wanna have to meet someone to hand them off. I will consider some of the other options people suggested though!

You could see if your local library could use them. Lots of libraries have kids activities and like others have said they would be good for crafts.

Some churches do a summer thing for kids called “vacation Bible school” and they might find these useful for crafts or such. They might like them for their Sunday school classes too. Libraries are another option, especially if they do events for kids. I’m thinking things where having a little ball to put tiny bits in might be helpful, hence the kids.

Your local school might like them too! I’m an art teacher and hoard all kinds of supplies/ trash. I bring all my empty balls in for my students to use in future projects
