In the interest of child and parent sanity, I've carried crayons in my purse for those unexpected down times mommas often find themselves with as long as I can remember. But, I hated the way they left "goobers" all over the bottom of my purse. Even when I kept them in a Ziplock-style bag, it wasn't a perfect solution.
I don't remember where I saw this but have been so thankful I did.
Ya know those mini M&M plastic tube containers in the candy aisle? Pop for one (or more depending on how many little ones you need to entertain), eat the can
dy, and VOILA! Instant perfect 6 crayon holder!Crayons contained and (mostly) unbroken - a momma idea that works for me!
As an added benefit, I also keep my iPod earbuds in another so I have them with me (and, more importantly, have them UNTANGLED) whenever I head to the YMCA!

Oh! That is a great idea! I have been saving M&M containers just like that thinking that I would come up with a great use for them. Now I have one! (And my purse--the one with all the crumbs, etc in the bottom--will thank you too!
That is a great idea!!! I love it!
I'd love for you to share it on my Tuesday's Tips.
That is such a great idea!
What a great idea!!! I'm going to scarf down some M&M's so I can have a crayon holder ;)
