Puzzle Storage Solution

Kid puzzles drive me nuts. They never stack well, they get thrown around on the shelf, and never seem to be where they're supposed to be.

So I saw this cool little tip on Pinterest to cut the picture off the cardboard box, then put it in a ziplock bag, put the puzzle in the bag and ditch the rest of the box. The puzzles can then all fit into a crate or fabric basket and they take up a lot less space!

I left the floor puzzles in their boxes because the pieces are so big and heavy. But all the other puzzles got chopped and bagged. For me, having 5 kids under the age of 6, it's the little things that make big differences in my life!
