Anyone who has been to Target ever knows about the $1 shelves that greet you as you walk in. I always look around and I have found these little “pails” on more than one occasion. I love them! They are perfect for holding all manner of writing utensils. They are easy for kids to use, they hold all kinds of things, and they look great. Have way too many crayons or markers or pencils? It doesn’t matter – if you put them in these pretty little containers it looks instantly organized! What could be better. They work wonders for desks and I even have them lined up on the window sill of my dining room where the kids do lots of projects!

P.S. they are a clever idea for birthday goodie bags!
