These can then be placed with perishable foods to keep them cold. Used half-gallon milk or orange juice cartons can be transformed into blocks, numbers, words — almost anything a child’s imagination conceives, using precut wrappers and special adhesive tape. The full-color paper wrappers with adhesive come in sets of six in such categories as Words, Numbers, Trucks, Bricks and Big City.
