I washed and saved up bottles from fast food milk and made a few children's games:
Find-n-Seek: Using a small items from around the house like toothpicks, safety pin, bobby pin, button, nail, washer, paperclip, dried bean or pea, jingle bell, ribbon, half a twist tie, pompom, crayon, and part of a straw. You can use anything that can fit into the top opening. Using rice as a filler drop items in one at a time with rice added in between each item (more rice than items), until almost full. Glue the cap on and the game begins.
Also using ten bottles and an old tennis ball made a small bowling game. My grandchildren loved making and playing with them. It's a great game for car travel. We used some small water bottles to make others.

Curious, are the milk bottles clear? If not what's the point of the first game?
Hmm... we used to have one of those commercially-made plastic bowling games. Making your own with clean, empty half-pint (or larger) milk bottles sounds even better.
