Lego Organization {Instruction Manuals}

My son received a few sets of Lego Duplos for Christmas. Thankfully they all fit into one container. Unfortunately, the instruction manuals kept getting crushed on the bottom of the container. So, I started brainstorming Lego organization ideas. My first thought was to run to Staples and grab an adhesive binder pocket to stick on the side of the Lego Duplo container. I was thrilled with this solution...my two year old was not. So, I was stuck at home and needed to make do with the supplies I had on hand. In the end I think it turned out better than my original idea.

I ran to my craft closet and emerged with the following items.

Mailing tape, scalloped paper punch, 12"x12" cardstock, paper cutter (ultimately not used), and Martha Stewart Labels (not shown).

I folded the cardstock, placed the label on the front and attached it to the back of the Lego container with the mailing tape.The tape secures the pocket to the container and effectively laminates the front of the pocket to protect it from the two year old who wouldn't let me go to the store in the first place.

Our Lego container went from this.

To this.

Ahhh. Much better.
