Take that Lakeshore!

[DayCareDynasty]

I'm so excited. You know those pretty little theme boxes that Lakeshore sells for $50 each? Well...I took the idea and ran with it on my limited budget. I bought some cheap containers from Walmart and a shelf from Ikea and got all of my themes organized for this year. Some of the boxes are a bit empty at this point but I figure I will add to them as I go. I'm looking forward to having everything organized and easy to get to this year!

Wow great job! I purchased the bins, but have yet to organize things into them. I have to reorganize the garage and the bedrooms first to find space for them once filled.

Where do you have this stored? Is this your garage, an extra room, or part of the playroom?

Beautiful!

I keep looking at the Lakeshore ones, then I look at the price and move on.

That's what I'm hoping to achieve before too long! If I have to keep doing this daycare gig indefinitely (which it looks like I do right now) then I want to do pretty much exactly what you have going there. I'm working on it...slowly, slowly...

My hubs is not going to be happy with you-::. I think since joining the forum I have cost him more money then ever!

He just loves it when you guys give me ideas-

Wow!!! That looks FABULOUS!!! I have 2 of these clear drawer things stacked on top of each other and labeled for different holidays/themes but it is NO WHERE near as organized as you have!!! That is an amazing set up!!!

[daycare]

so I have a question about your marvelous setup

how did you organize your staple items. LIke cotton balls or tissue paper?

I have boxes set up like you with the themed items in each one, but I often have to cross use (hope that made sense) many items.

Like the items I listed above..

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg, I just can't get over it, you did an amazing job. Dh wouldn't let me buy the unit, because he didn't want to bring it home (we have to cross the border and when you have kids the stuff doesnt' fit well in the van)

I do I just started my dc again this year. I closed my first one when we started homeschooling. I felt like I could do both so I started up again. I'll have to check out this blog.
