Hats come in all shapes and sizes you know. Just ask Jude! Mr. Creativity has just discovered another useful way to play with toy bins. I think he's on 'toy bin test number thirty-three!' Who knew these simple, plastic containers would run a close second to the forever popular, 'cardboard box?' These bins have been used as car ramps, stepping stones, ball-toss-catchers, color markers and carpet sleds...among other things. Maybe one of these days Jude will allow his toys to have a turn in a bin, too?
Please share with us your grandkids/kids playtime favorites!
Still having fun,
Bubbie and Jude

Toy storage bins seem to have taken the place of the big, old toy chests. When I first saw this, I thought it was a fantastic idea. Categorizing toys into their own bins! What could be better, or simpler? Stuffed dolls in one, balls in another, etc., etc. Twelve opportunities for separation! Wow! And this probably would work out swell, as long as there are no toddlers within arms reach of the unit! Once in contact, there must be this little voice in their heads that say, "Tear that sucker apart! Dump it all! Leave no bins unturned!" When all is said and done, there lies the opportunity to sing my favorite song, "It's Clean Up Time Again!"
Ah kids, 'ya gotta' love 'em!
I know I do,

P.S. How do you encourage your grandchildren to clean up after themselves?
