We had gotten the Finding Nemo gummy treats for my toddler as a special treat (he's still adjusting to having a new sibling). I was getting ready to recycle the box when I had the idea to cut out the picture of Nemo to laminate and make into a figure for his felt board. Well, he saw the box on my desk (I had tried to hide it!) and started begging for "Meno!" I cut Nemo out of one side (I still have the other side for the felt board!) and my toddler ran away yelling, "Thank you Mom!"
Isn't it great to get such pleasure out of simple things?

Don't ya just love 'em? My 1st Grader is in the "Reduce/Reuse/Recycle" mindset from the school science curriculum. I bought Sponge Bob shaped mac & cheese. He loved the box and turned it into something to keep his colored pencils in. They are the cutest things ever!
