Blocks Box

As we found places for all of the Christmas toys, we needed to rearrange some things. The cardboard blocks were often played with, but rarely put back on the shelves so they were an ideal candidate. Still we didn't know where else we would put them.

Then we bought a new mattress (for us, not the kids). It came with two cardboard ends to protect it and the blocks fit perfectly inside. So we had a great place to put the blocks, but where to put the box?

It fits perfectly in front of the fireplace. It blocks the kids from opening the fireplace. It does mean we have toys in the living room which we were trying to avoid, but these are easy to clean up. The kids still play with them often and it's not like we keep anything else on the fireplace so they didn't take away any of our space.
