March Challenge week 1





This weekend we hit the Dollar Tree! I actually surprised my son with the new bins and a new trash can for his room to sweeten the deal. I was shocked that when we arrived him he immediately started to fill the bins. In the car we discussed red/blue for trains and cars and yellow/green for tools and construction. Sunday I picked up a 5th bin with handles for his not so small but not big trucks and trains. Check out the photos below. Amazing what $5 can do!

  1. I picked up those same bins last week - for my son too. They are the perfect size for his toys.

    1. I love the handles. It makes it much easier to pull them out himself.

  6. I really need to make a trip to the Dollar Store. Does this system work for big boys too? I wonder if I could get my husband to organize his computer stuff.....

    1. Actually yes it does! We have a 3 draw dresser/cabinet for our computer needs. I have 2 blue bins on the top for cd's/games. The 2nd drawer has wires and misc in a box with no tid. Third is photo paper and larger items ;-)

  7. Great job and it is so colorful too! They certainly did the trick and sorting by color is a great idea.
