If there is one thing that is certain, a new baby in the house means going through a lot of diapers and doing so for 2 or perhaps even 3 years before the madness finally stops. During that time, we are not only using disposable diapers, we are using lots of baby wipes as well!
Many people simply throw their baby wipe containers in the recycle bin but there are many different uses for these unique containers that you will find convenient and useful. Not only will you appreciate these useful items, they can be great for the rest of your household as well.
1. Store Your Card Games – There is nothing worse than playing a game and finding out that some of the pieces are missing. Here is a way to store your game pieces neatly.
2. Store Your Crayons – One of the smaller items that often tends to disappear quickly are crayons. You can store them in a cute little container and have them available at a moments notice.
