Do you get big tubs of these yummy animal crackers? The containers are awesome and I felt horrible throwing them away so I started using them to store small toys.
The actual container is the perfect size and the clear bin is great for spying out it's contents, but the narrow top can get flustering for little ones (and moms) when they are trying to pull out/in a toy that just barely fits.
I got out my trusty craft supplies and did a little plastic surgery!!
1. Cut the top off the bin. I sliced it with an exacto knife then cut it all the way around with my craft scissors. Try to cut it in one fail swoop so you don't have any sharp edges.
2. You can be done after cutting the top off, or if you want a bit of extra cuteness grab your Mod Podgue and fun paper and have some fun! I used paper that would show my son what goes inside.
These bins are awesome for organizing sets with small pieces… Polly Pocket, blocks, Lego's, doctor kits, animals…

I'm all for organizing. This is a great idea!
Love this idea! I too have had a hard time putting these type containers in recycle bin–thanks for the tip!
Blessings!
