Creative ways to recycle your child’s toy box

[ad_1]

As parents, we naturally want the best for our children. We buy top-shelf toys, comb high-quality clothes, and research crib safety standards, but over time we realize that most of these items are either not interesting to our child, or simply get into the garage sale pile for resale. A box for children’s toys is no exception. While the toy box is a unique way to teach your child to organize, even the finest gift boxes can collect dust and find a permanent home in your attic. So what is a parent to do with an old toy box that is no longer used for their child’s toys?

For plastic or wooden boxes, there are no application restrictions. Just sit back and use your creative imagination. The easiest idea to reuse one would be to simply swap what’s stored inside. Place your pet’s toys inside, use it as a basket for dirty clothes, or place it on the back of your car or trunk for jumper cables, tools, or groceries. Involve your kids in creating a time capsule to keep their favorite toys and keepsakes for them to look at for years to come. Also, don’t be afraid to take it outside! Can be used for gardening equipment, pool toys or lawn equipment. To really get a green effect when you reuse it, turn it into a compost bin or bin!

Storage is also not the only option. Attach the wheels to the underside and decorate them as another Indy 500 cart! Sew the canopy and attach it to the table top to get a covered wagon. Place pillows or a pillow on the closed bench cover in the hall. Does Fido need a place to sleep? Put a blanket and pillow in the lair. You can even decorate it like a coffin on Halloween!

Plastic toy boxes are so versatile; they can even be used to keep little chickens! It is the perfect size with a few added vents, hardware fabric and handy work; you’ll be raising chickens in no time! It can also be turned into an incubator for bird eggs. How about taking some of your plants and giving them a new home inside? Going to a big game? Pack it up with ice and TOUCHDOWN! for immediate cooler!

For durable wooden cases, move outside the “box” by turning it vertically to store DVDs, CDs or books. If you add shelves inside you now have a wine rack possible! Turn it over completely to get a child-sized table. And the most economical use of a wooden toy box … put it out for kindling at the next fire!

A toy box for children creates memories that stay inside forever. Open the lid to create a world of new memories!
