I wish I had seen this site when my kids were small! (I wish we had the Internet when my kids were small, lol). Here’s a terrific crayon holder I saw at The Best of DIY.
What a terrific invention! I always hated those flimsy cardboard boxes that held crayons. They never lasted long, and crayons spilled out so easily. I used to keep my crayons in small shoe boxes (well, I still do!) but that’s messy. I just love this idea. The tutorial for crafting this crayon holder is at Skip To My Lou, another great site for ideas.
The Best of DIY is rapidly becoming one of my favorite blogs to peruse. I just love handy little stuff featured there, and it’s all homemade stuff, using old materials you already have around the house. Now if I can only think of a way to recycle all those ostrich feathers and FunFoam bits…

That is so cool! It would be great to keep in a bag so they’re always handy.

I saw http://newyorkrenovator.com/2008/07/helpful-little-inventions/ and wanted to mention a useful site: http://www.FreePatentsOnline.com
It provides free patent searching, free PDF downloading, allows annoting documents and sharing them, and free alerts for new documents.
If you have a spot, a link to let your users know abou the site would be great.
