Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1

Use pages out of an old phone book for messy jobs such as gluing, painting or staining. Or tear them out and place lots of them under your child's high chair to catch those dinner-time messes.

Step2

Make a pinata. Phone book pages make terrific paper mache fodder.

Step3

Create a holiday decoration. By folding down the top corner of each page into the middle of the book, and then opening the book and gluing the covers together, you can create a lovely Christmas tree decoration. Spray paint all over for a great finishing touch.

Step4

Work out with them. Phone books are a great size for steps, such as you might use in step aerobics.

Step5

Sit on it. This one is probably old hat to you, but just in case you haven't done it, use an old phone book as a booster sit for a child at the kitchen table.

Step6

Keep it in the car, for those times when you need to look up a phone number or address and don't want to pay for the information phone call.
