A friend of ours always has a purse full of what she likes to call "Teensy Toys" for all the kids to come and get from her whenever she is around. She has them everywhere, as well as a collections of strange and weird-hard-to-find toys, like mini Pee Wee Herman figures from the show, wallets shaped like sandwiches, Sylvanian Families and other such oddities. She had so many of these things that she started making shadow boxes for the kids to hang in their rooms. The one pictured here is one that my daughter filled with small random things from her room that had no place to go but still wanted to hold onto for one reason or another.
It is a simple and a great way to get the odds and ends out of the way that your children just can't seem to part with. Ours isn't completely filled just yet, but you will get the idea.
1. We purchased a cheap shadow box from Ikea and spray painted it ourselves to match Bella's room.
2. I measured and cut out a piece of scrapbook paper to line the back.
3. Then she fill with all of tiny junk I was sick of see laying around and stepping on every time I walked into her room. It is also a great place to put all of the little weird souvenirs that children always see to want or receive from grandparents on vacations and the busy crafts they make but have no real home.
