Put used yogurt and other food containers (glass baby jar, plastic cottage cheese container...) to good use. After food in containers are gone, thoroughly clean them and put meal left-overs inside. If any container isn't see through, put masking tape on the lid and write what's in it. Plastic baby food containers make great snacks containers for lunches. Also, play it safe. If your child has food allergies (peanuts) make sure he does not eat any new food from the peanut butter jar.
Other uses for food containers: When your child paints put water in a couple of old food containers to clean brushes. Use big yogurt containers as tubs for organizing colored pencils and markers, even pens. You can also keep spare dog food in one (be sure to mark it) to have at Grandma's when/if your dog stays there overnight.
