Not only am I a sucker for those scholastic book orders but my mom is a retired teacher and gives the girls a book every-time we see her. There are just so many books to go though but if we divide them into groups and bring one out every week or so, we can save space and the kids will be able to see all the books. I now have a weekend project! Thanks so much.

I love this idea, and do something similar at work with the kids books but it didn't occur to me to try this at home. I may have to give this a try! sandlegirl81https://www.blogger.com/profile/07849263325211190897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111854457227184013.post-35819621002320588872014-03-03T17:07:58.773-06:002014-03-03T17:07:58.773-06:00I did this when I had a nanny position with two se...I did this when I had a nanny position with two sets of twins aged 2 1/2 and 4. With four children and lots of relatives they accumulated a lot of things between holidays, birthdays, and just because. <br /><br />When I started all the toy areas were overflowing and really not organized. So I purchased 30 of the banker boxes and had them setting out everywhere then I grabbed laundry baskets and just picked up the toys and sorted by what went together. Then labelled the boxes like you did. And, put them in the basement like you did. We rotated out too. <br /><br />I found the toys seemed fresh to them when they had a break of playing with them. Because I did homeschool preschool it was to grab for themes of the week too.<br /><br />I don't think it's a big deal they are in these boxes. I mean they are in a basement, and they are stackable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866790047524028834noreply@blogger.com
