To Do with Foam Food Trays

Release Your Innersoles
If your tired feet need a little padding, grab a couple of clean meat trays and cut them to fit inside the sole of your shoes or boots. You’ll have happy feet and some extra cushioning for free.
Produce a Disposable Serving Dish
Wash a disposable foam food tray with soap and water, cover it entirely with foil and load it up with food. Use these serving dishes to deliver goodies to the school cake stall or a sick neighbour. You’ll have no worries about losing your own platters.
Provide an Art Palette
Create a paint palette for your budding Picasso. A thoroughly cleaned and dried food tray is the perfect place for kids to squirt their tempera or oil paints. Are they experimenting with watercolours? Use two trays. Put the paint in one and water in the other. At the end of the art session, you can just throw them away.
Protect Photographs in the Mail
Why buy expensive padded envelopes to send photographs to loved ones? Cut foam trays slightly smaller than your mailing envelope. Insert your photographs between the trays, place in the envelope and mail. The photos will arrive without creases or bends.
Make Knee Pads for Gardening
If you find gardening is a pain in the knees, tape a couple of foam food trays to them. Or attach them to your legs using the top halves of old tube socks. The trays give you extra padding while you pull out weeds and fertilize your plants.

Make your shrink art into a key chain. Cut out a large oblong or any shape, color with a permanent marker, punch a hole in the top, and shrink in the oven. They make a cute keychain.
