Cute Lego head idea our baby & us love Legos. I would put all the little Lego guys in there.
susan says
Thanks, Linda. It’s so easy to make, really.
Cynthia L says
This is a really great idea. When your box is full, you can pass the whole box on to the school and not feel bad!
Pam V H says
Yeah, the box tops really don’t want to stay in a neat pile, do they? I store them in a small zipper plastic storage bag.
susan says
I agree, Pam. They can make a mess, but I just can’t throw them away (it’s like throwing money away).
Corinne says
This is exactly how we collect our box tops but we use a recycled Hillshire Farm sliced turkey container. We keep it in one of our kitchen drawers.
susan says
Great minds think alike, Corinne.
David Smith says
Great idea to reuse a food container for the box tops. We collect box tops for my sons school to help out. They don’t do the labels for education though.
susan says
Thanks, David. I hate to throw anything out that can be reused. You might suggest that your school collect Labels for Education, too. It doesn’t cost anything extra for the parents and the school can receive equipment and supplies. I think most schools and parents appreciate anything extra, especially for no additional cost.
Nicole Williams says
I completely agree with you about the feeling when throwing away box tops! You container is really practical and easy to add some more but to a certain point, xi xi! Greetings!

Hello, Nicole. It’s nice to hear that you feel the same as I do about throwing those box tops away. Take care.
