We have the opposite problem - so many bits of rubbish adopted by the kids that they get upset if I try to throw away (but usually it's ok if they don't see them go, as they can get replaced anyway).

Loo roll/kitchen roll spyglasses / tunnels are a hit.
Quatling likes shredding tissues - so if I give her a newspaper, that keeps her away from the tissues and loo roll for ooh, a couple minutes.

Classic bunch of pans and bowls and a couple spoons - baby drumkit

Egg box with marker pen face = funny frog/crocodile toy

We had a treasure basket - Ludy diligently acquired all 73 items suggested in one of the educational textbooks on the subject. Some items had to be removed for the potential harm when Quatlet and Fluxlet threw them at each other, but some are still great - Quatlet's favourites were some raffia coasters, which doubled up as teethers and security objects and throwing toys for about a year.

When out and about, those wooden sticks they give you in coffee shops instead of spoons are good toys, and the cardboard sleeves round a cup are great for being toy mouths. Flip-up tables on trains are endless fun - check you don't have a squeaky one!
