Day 1 - Crayons
We have a craft drawer in our Family Room closet that holds all of my daughter's markers, pens, pencils, and crayons...and a few random glitter pens.
So, I pulled out all of the crayons (broken and intact) and separated them into two containers. The intact crayons ended up in an old containers of Triple Paste diaper rash cream.
The broken crayons now live in an old baby wipes container. I have plans to melt them down into some new funky shaped crayons for the kids. Inspiration thanks to Pinterest.
Day 2 - Wooden Dolls
My daughter has some magnetic wooden dolls that were originally in a tall flexible plastic pouch that was a pain in the you-know-what. It didn't fit in any of our toy cubbies/shelves so it usually got stuck between the couch and the end table. Becuase it was hidden away from the other toys the dolls didn't get played with very much. Out of sight out of mind. So, when we got another set of magnetic wooden dolls for Christmas this year I knew I had to come up with a better solution. Enter another empty container of baby wipes.
I guess it's a good thing I never throw these things away.
Day 3 - Labeling
Since I do not have a label maker or a Silhouette (oh the things I could do with this) I went to Hobby Lobby and got some 40% off stickers. For less than $2 I labeled the crayon container and the wooden doll container.
And after my daughter added her creative touch.
So, 3 down 362 to go. Yikes. Let's hope I can keep it up...the momentum that is.
