Bubee loves to collect
I collect key chains. Last time I tried to count them all I quit at about 300 and wasn't even a quarter of the way through them, so I'd estimate I have over 1,000. My collection is proudly displayed in one of our rooms by circling the whole TV area. The picture above is only about 10% of them.
So I am hopeful that my key-chain collection is the reason behind Bubee's urge to collect (and not just some gross love of toe nails). I want him to be able to have a collection, but right now he desperately needs a place to keep it so it does not get out of hand. Rosey Posey found a wonderful set of nesting boxes during a trip to our local craft store and viola!! Light-bulb!!!
We used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out vinyl stickers of the children's favorite things. Rosey Posey and Bubee both got to do their own decorating and I made Little Lady's for her.
Rosey Posey chose a rose for her lid (of course) and turtles (her favorite animal) for the main box. Bubee chose a frog for the lid and dinos for the box. I decided to put a lady bug on Little Lady's lid, but I left the box it's self plain so that one day soon she can pick out her favorite things to put on it.
The whole project cost me less than $8 since the boxes came as a set for only $3. If you don't have a cutting machine, you could easily use stickers or markers to customize and decorate the boxes.
Last time I checked Bubee's box had rocks in it. Now he has a neat place to keep all his favorite things!!
