I know it is sad but I am not good at being Green. One thing I am good at is finding a new life for old stuff. Here is some things I reuse for our table time (Tot School).
Juice boxes I just started saving them. They are strong and it was the right size for the pens. I will be finding more uses for them I am sure.
I am sure we all reuse bubble wrap.(Girlygirl use to hate the noise but loves it now)
It is hard to see but that is one of Girlygirl's paintings made into cutting strips. I save the piece she cuts and give then to her to glue later. I have tried to let her cut and glue at the same time but it hasn't yet worked for her. 
Play-doh tubs work great for holding things on her trays. I also use the smaller one for sorting or with a small wet rag for painting (this keeps the water cup from making a mess).
I save all our lids above she used the to glue below I traced and cut them out for her circle collage.
The lacing card is made out of a cracker box and a painting Girlygirl did.
I use old food tubs for lots of stuff to store stuff or to hold things on the tot tray.
In this tub is cut paper and glue stick.
A cigar box become letter box.
Egg cartons are great. We us then lots we made Easter bunnies this year with them but no picture. Above: is was we use for counting. Below is pattern matching.
The mail box is made from a tissue box.
The jar is hold all kind of old stuff.
We painted news paper hearts for Valentine's Day.
I know I do reuse other stuff and I am do an other post about it someday. I just don't want this to be too long or is it too late. Anyways what do you reuse in your tot school or just with your kids?

I'm going to have to think about what we reuse. We reuse orange juice containers and milk cartons for crafts a lot.
I'll have to make sure and come back to this post later to see what else people reuse.
