Some work ok (Dino magnets, lacing beads, dress up magnet dolls) bc I store the toys flat in drawers. Others, like stamp sets, I keep on a shelf (empty) to put the toy back in when I sell or donate. I always think you’re going to come up with some sort of interim use for them, but… Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/melissa-and-doug-packaging#post-2828788 Sun, 17 Jun 2018 02:38:37 +0000 808love 2828788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We have used them for organizers, a tea box insert and a frame for a collage. Maybe could even use as a lightbox. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/melissa-and-doug-packaging#post-2828782 Sat, 16 Jun 2018 19:52:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 2828782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: same! Why no lid? I use them as baskets to corral the little toy pieces that accumulate in my play room but it feels like there should be a better use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/melissa-and-doug-packaging#post-2828780 Sat, 16 Jun 2018 19:03:41 +0000 Corduroy 2828780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m not a fan of the Melissa and Doug wooden toy packaging. It feels to sturdy to just toss but it also doesn’t contain the pieces well for storage. I keep them around and then occasionally throw they out. Does anyone repurpose these trays? </p>
