Many parents give their old IPhones to their kids to use, including me. When the phone still works it makes a great source for educational apps for kids. Or fun games as well. No need to have it connected to a service plan, they just connect with wifi and enjoy. It makes doctor visits less stressful and I don't have to worry about kids playing with my phone and accidentally calling someone I should have deleted off my contacts years ago.
Another idea, if you don't have your own kid who needs one, is to donate the phone to a teacher. I've known teachers in the past that ask for old IPhones, especially in the lower elementary grades for use in their classes. For example, my son's preK teacher had the kids using the phones with a letter writing app in her "writing center". The kids, especially those who may not like to write due to special needs, enjoyed getting to "play" on the phones. Your donation would benefit children in school districts where the funds may not be there to purchase tablets for each class. Since the phone is now in the hands of kids, it's nice to allow them to make the phone theirs. Or before you donate it, make it look more kid friendly. I have created these sports themed decals to do just that. A little decal and the phone looks new again. :)

I've mentioned how I order some of my designs from My Vinyl Designer. Well here are a few of their designs I have. Any of these or a part of these can be made into a decal. I can also make a decal that you can use as a stencil to paint, etch, etc. to create that look you want.
I have four boys love sports. So, sports decals are popular in our house. Do you have a sports star in the family? Or sports fan? These decals can be added to anything! Use the athlete's name or number to create your own decal. Here are a few pictures of how we have used these decals. We have added the to video games, video game cases, and cups.
