Love this idea! Going to make these today with some old formula tins we’ve got lying around. I might add some rice into them and hot glue the lids down so they can double as instruments too!

I love the idea of cutlery being held in these. Would have looked fantastic for his party. So many uses for these and I’m think girls tins so could do unicorns or fairies. Great and simple idea thanks.
