Make your own magazine holder out of a cereal box

My daughter has more books than a small library.  The good news is that she loves to read.  I (of course) love this.  The flip side is that I am faced with a plethora of books strewn about the house.  To encourage her to put her books away when she is done reading, I made a few magazine holders out of cereal boxes.  I made each one a different size to demonstrate the size of the books that go into each box.  I lined them up on a shelf and taught her the "new system" for organizing her books.  She loves it because she enjoys looking at the pictures on the sides.  I love it because it has encouraged her to put her books away.  A win-win.  The best part is that they are put away nicely and not heaped up in a "leaning tower of Pisa" pile.  To learn how to make a magazine holder out of a cereal box, click here.
