Fun Box Top Storage Ideas

The other day I mentioned how we, a homeschool family, still take time to cut out and save Box Tops for Education to help support local schools. It seems strange to some, but we’re not against traditional schooling, we just know that our children learn differently then they’d be taught in a classroom setting.

But we still support teachers.

 

And, the Box Tops for Education program does a wonderful job of helping teachers and their schools raise funds for resources that they may not have been able to afford otherwise. I shared my story the other day.

We use a simple mason jar to collect our Box Tops right now, but as I was searching around Pinterest to learn more about how the funds are raised and used, I found tons of fun collection container ideas. Here are my ten favorite…

Box Top Storage Ideas

I love this funky zebra-print Box Top Storage container made from a cascade dish detergent package.

Pencils and rulers are staples in the classroom – and in the homeschool – so this cute upcycled Box Top storage box is perfectly themed.

Do you have old Pringles containers lying around? Perhaps this chalkboard themed Box Top storage tube or this Box Top storage vault would work in your home.

I love, love, love this adorable super hero themed Box Top storage jar made from a cleaned out peanut butter jar. It’s so cute!

Since we live in Teeny House, counter space is slim here, so this tiny magnetic spice container might be just the right option for us to collect our Box Tops in.

Zebra prints must be in, and I have to admit that I like them paired with bright, fun colors…so this duck-taped tissue box Box Top storage container would be fun to make.
