I made 2 piles of the boxes empty and full.
The full ones have small manipulatives I made for my kids when they were younger for homeschooling but I have resisted throwing them away since I put so much time into making them. I am giving the boxes full of manipulatives to a homeschooling family and after they decide what they want they will pass the extra on to another family in hopes that somebody can use them. I loaded up the shoeboxes into my husband’s van so he could drop them off which he did the next day.
The empty boxes I saved for storage, craft projects, Operation Christmas Child or Military Care Packages but I have decided to donate them now to help clear out some of my clutter in the basement. I loaded the empty boxes into my van and donated them to the Clothes Closet.

I have such a hard time parting with boxes. My husband laughs at me because I store empty boxes...but you never know when you will need one!

great job! i know it's so hard to part with things you made yourself, but i agree that it's better that they are used & loved rather than stored. bravo!
ReplyDeleteI use to save boxes too. I finally had to let GO! Buy the plastic dollar store shoe boxes for OCC they work great and the families an use them for storage.
