Puzzle pieces....keep them all together.
Here's my tip. I buy Ziplock, Hefty, and Glad bags at 50% off (add a coupon for a sweeter deal) after various holidays (shown Halloween and Christmas) and store all kinds of stuff in them.
I put one puzzle in a gallon size bag. I store them upright in my child's closet. My kids get one bagged puzzle at a time. It is easier to keep track of the pieces this way. It's not rocket science but I didn't think of this use until I saw it somewhere else. I love organizing and it is a constant effort for me. Any other tips for organizing and using Ziplocks? Feel free to leave a comment. Happy organizing!
I'm constantly organizing with six kids! I use to do the same thing with puzzles! I love your blog, its great! I love a good deal! Walmart has all their Teddy Bears and stuffed animals from Valentines on clearance! They make great gifts for Birtdays or Party Favors or save them for next year for Valentines! Last year, I bought the cutest little pink dogs for $2.50! Actually, they were a pretty good size! Sorry, this isn't a organizing tip! Have a Good Week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip and comment Brenda. I love a good deal too.
ReplyDeleteStace- one of our old babysitters would even mark the back of the puzzle pieces with a letter or number and then mark the "frame". So for example, all the Cinderella puzzle pieces that belonged to that border would have a "c" on them, and then a "c" on the inside chipboard area. It was great and made clean up a snap if more than one puzzle got out at once ;)
