I absolutely need more Tupperware. Not for food, but for toys.
I use Tupperware for food all the time. Batch cooking is definitely a good plan when you have two children under 6 years old, so the freezer is full of various labelled up meals - bolognese sauce and lamb hotpot are the current favourites.
But at this time of year, when you are desperately trying to work out where all the new stuff is actually going to live on a daily basis, Tupperware is used for toys. Honestly.
Got a new dolls head for hairdressing practise? Great. With all the accompanying hair slides, brushes, tongs, bobbles and ribbons? Pop them into a Tupperware box. Nice and tidy.
Got some new jigsaws? Lovely! Nothing beats jigsaws inside on a cold winters day (except maybe a quiet glass of sherry and "It's a Wonderful Life" on the TV).
But if it's a child's jigsaw (a Disney princess one for example) I bet the box came with more than one jigsaw actually in it. Fine until you take them out of their plastic. And then those dots on the back of the pieces are only of help if you haven't got at least six others with the same dots already!
Tupperware saves the day again. Nice and neat.
It's handy that the local Chinese takeaway delivers its food in perfect size plastic boxes. I don't even need to buy new!
Why didn't I think of that? We have loads of tupperware which I use for all sorts but never toys - it is obvious!
ReplyDeleteNot just tupperware, suction bags are amazing. Though, that's only if you don't mind not seeing the toys again... We've just bagged up a load of soft toys!
