How To Recycle Your Baby Products for Storage

In this article I will reveal to you four baby products that can provide you with storage solutions after they have performed their primary function.

1.) Plastic Baby Wipe Containers

I hate to waste things that I believe can be utilized later. Before tossing the plastic wipes container consider it for the following uses.

-Store those many boxes of crayons in them, and best of all some wipe boxes come with two openings one big enough for small hands to pick out a crayon one at a time.
-Not only crayons but side walk chalks fit perfectly in baby wipe boxes. Simply label the outside of the box and put it up for your next outside endeavor.
-Small toys like Hotwheels fit very well in the boxes. My son has hundreds of Hotwheels and though he has car holders he's run out of room. Plastic wipe containers are a great way to organize your child's small toys.
-Fill and empty boxes with first aid supplies and put one in every room of your home. They are just small enough to fit into dresser or entertainment center drawers. That way in case of an emergency you have a first aide kit close by.
-If you have a small baby think about filling an empty wipe box with the small necessary items you have laying around your changing table, such as nail clippers, ball syringe, Vaseline, diaper rash cream, teething tablets or pacifiers. You can always decorate the box to match your nursery decor' .

2.)Plastic and Glass Baby Food Containers

It's no secret that these small containers can be used for a variety of purposes.

-Plastic baby food containers such as the small box shaped ones made by Gerber are wonderful for storing your small craft supplies in. The clear containers are easy to see through and small crafts such as beads, glitter, eyelets and even ribbon can easily be stored in them.
-Use glass baby food jars to separate your spare change by denomination.
-Organize small items found in your bathroom medicine cabinet, such as band-aids, safety pins, cotton swabs, cotton balls and makeup sponges.
-Keep paints fresh by storing the excess in them.
-Keep one in your dresser drawer for storing replacement buttons and sequins found on new clothes.

3.)Old Diaper Bags

Everyone has at least a handful of diaper bags that they have gotten from a variety of places. Here's some ways to use those extra bags to your advantage.

-The Enfamil or Goodstart bag sent home with you from the hospital makes an excellent lunch bag for work.
- You can also store small beach toys and beach supplies in a spare diaper bag. Simply pack your supplies inside and store away for easy packing on your next beach adventure.
-Store old baby clothes in them. Designate a diaper bag for each size clothing your little one grows out of.
-Keep copies of important documents and family heirlooms in a diaper bag. In case of an emergency the bag can be thrown over your shoulder leaving you with 2 free arms.
-Smaller diaper bags are good for storing carry on items onto a plane.

4.) Bulk Diaper Boxes

-Diaper boxes are great for moving.
-Use them as recycling containers.
-Box harmful automotive or cleaning chemicals in them for added child safety.
-Organize your garage with bulk diaper boxes. Label the front of the boxes when you are done organizing.
-Use the boxes to pack up old clothes for donating.
