Recycle "the stuff" for child boredom

One of the things I have realized is that kids (toddlers) tend to get bored and so do adults. I also realized not too long ago that I have alot of "stuff" around that house that I need to get rid of. So, I meshed the two needs "get rid of the stuff" and "child boredom" and came up with a catch all box if you will. It is not a large box, medium size. I take all of my old magazines, toilet paper and towel roles, small food boxes and even an old tattered shirt. I throw it all in the box. When Owen gets bored I just bring out the box with all the new "stuff" and of course a box or crayons, glue, scissors etc. and let him go. When he is done with the box of stuff it is gone for good but with a new flair. Then I fill it back up again. It is amazing what children can create out of a box of random stuff.
