How can a little pail help organize your whole house? It’s a multi-tasking wonder! Here I show you how to use it in five different areas in your home. This pail is from JAM paper and comes in three sizes and LOTS of different colors and patterns. You can see them here.
The first is one of my favorites…use it in a play room to gather up all of those tiny little toys that seem to get everywhere. Not only can little hands hold the pail easily, they can SCOOP toys off the floor. Yu can see army men here, but they would be great for Legos, doll pieces, marbles and more.
You can also use this in the office to hold office supplies. Buy a few and put all of your arts and craft supplies in them. I love using pails like this that I can line up on a shelf and then take down to use when I need them.
This is also great in the entryway to hold keys. Use this to corral those items that are always cluttering up the foyer and making it look unsightly. Keeping your keys in one spot also allows you to leave the house with less stress in the mornings!
Need a spot to store healthy snacks to kids can help them selves? This makes a great place to store granola bars or small snack packs.
Use the pail to decorate for the holidays!
I don’t know about you, but I use plastic utensils a little too much. I like keeping them on hand in a small pail like this. Never search again when they forget to give you forks in the take out bag!
What would YOU keep in the pail? Tell me in the comments below!
