How about a fabric bucket??? It would be perfect for a load of Lego, or blocks but it can also hold a bunch of other things.
Stuffies
A book
CandiesMore candies
a new hat/toque
This bucket was made with 15" squares of fabric
and look how much room is inside. It will hold lots!!
There is a pattern out there you can buy, but I found this onYouTube. Here's the link: Fabric buckets
I was fast enough to get the corner cutting instructions so I will pass that along.
Tomorrow I'm going to add to this post. Have I ever found uses for these buckets!! And they can be made in other sizes!!
