you could wallpaper a bathroom with them thus making it a great way of decorating but also a great way of having a gauze sponge ready for those times when you need one.
Oh my gosh. Where are you going to store all of those? I don’t have any suggestions on what to do with them - I’m not the creative type. I just feel sorry for you that you have to store them somewhere. Good luck!
Paper Mache!!!! How fun would that be to use sponges instead of paper. Sponge mache!!!
Seriouly, are you going to keep all those sponges? Can’t you get credit back for sending them back to the supply company? We don’t use them anymore for John but the ones I had left over I save to clean John’s vent with when we wipe it down and clean it.
OK, I have a problem. Joe you are a New Yorker now! You must pronounce guaze like a New Yorker. YOu sound like you are talking about the Gaza Strip. Gauze in NY is pronounced Gawze! Now that we have your accent cleared up. Being the obnoxious New Yorker I am I would take all of the sponges and vandalize the vacuum cleaner store’s front window with them spelling out the word THIEF!
1. Challenge the designers on “Project Runway” to create a cocktail dress out of them.
2. Donate them to Reveal (http://www.myspace.com/revealdignity) for make-up artists to clean their brushes in between Valentine’s Day make-overs for sexually abused women.
3. Dye them, sew them, turn them into decorative pillow covers, then donate them to decorate the first safe house in NYC for sexually trafficed women (www.RestoreNYC.org).
4. Take Barbara and Jen’s advice and donate them to CP (www.CreateProvidence.org) to use as art supplies at the Susana Homes Orphanage in Nigeria.*
5. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow in your apartment and give Sophia and Ira free reign to plsy in the mess!
*Note: On behalf of CP, while we appreciate your generosity of what we’re sure will be an immediate donation of 2,500 sterile sponges, due to luggage constraints, we respectfully decline your generous donation at this time.
I wish I could think of something funny to suggest! What I would do with them is find an agency in my area…a very poor agency and donate the extra sponges.
I am a teacher and some ideas my kids have come up with are:
*make a castle, with glue and tape
*create a sculpture
*make a pillow
*SpongeBob Squarepants(gotta love that one)
*cut and create a jigsaw puzzle
*paint with them instead of brushes
Create a seat out of them to bring onto the subway - or better yet make a mitten or handle so that holding onto the subway pole isn’t such a grimy experience.
You could also use the covers (lest not to waste them) as note paper - and send in any supply requests via sponge cover stationery.
Since you have more than enough worthwhile suggestions, I’ll give some more ridiculous ones:
As a currently potty training parent, I like the idea of carpeting his bedroom with these. He soaks a spot, we peel off and move on.
I don’t know about SpongeBob SquarePants, but I love the idea of spongepants. Again, this is also helpful with potty training.
Shrink the ocean just a little.
Carry sponges in a backpack. Hand them out to random passerby. Smile and say “sponge on” as if this is the most natural thing in the world. Offer no explanation.
Use the entire block for child sized stunt action.
You could make a really big, really thin quilt. It would be a great opportunity for family time–just imagine all those cold New York nights spent huddled around the quilt–an old fashion bee!
Hee Hee ,
you could pad the smallest room in your house and have your own time out room for when you need to vent ,like on days you recieve 25000 sponges , or make alot of Sponge Bob Dolls LOL.
An animal shelter (SPCA) etc can use them , or a free medical clinic ,retirement home /Day care or sell em on e-bay!!
Thanks for the giggle , hope you solve your problem without much bother .
Ps. cute little scene stealer ,she walked in front ,so cute !
TOTALLY TOTALLY make clothes out of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loooooooooove Hillary’s idea for the Project Runway clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I have been helping make a list for supplying the nurses station at Camp of the Hills, and they are in need of sterile sponges or guaze pads. You could send them to Camp!

Good luck!

You could paper the walls with them and paint over them for a textured effect.
What is it with New Yorkers and excessive amounts of sponges?
(Note link in above comment!)
bring them to the next be-creative-with-the-kids day at school, and wow all those other parents with your zeal for crafts…
You could mail them to Jen’s sister in Honduras who could use them in their medical clinic!

Carrie’s idea rocks!

Hand them out for New Yorkers to cry into when they all finally have to come to terms with the fact that their boy Roger Clemens is a roider!

CCfB Greeter:
“Welcome to CCfB! Here’s a sponge. You’re gonna need it to soak up all the truth you’ll soon get from The Very Right Reverend Hays.”
Find a chair cover (maroon of course) at Bed Bath and Beyond and stuff it with guaze to create your very own lazyboy recliner.

Use them to dry up the tears in your eyes from this year’s Yankees baseball season.

Ha Ha that’s too funny. Uhhmm…I would use them to clean up when people come over to visit and spill diet coke in your entry way.
