With all school supplies on sale right now for the back to school season, why not pick up a couple of extra plastic storage, or shower caddies.

#thingsthatmaketeachershappy 💕LOVING my table caddies this year! No crayons or pencils allowed 😂😂 #youliveandyoulearn Also! Completely obsessed with how perfectly the crystal light containers fit in here!!! 🙌🏻 I knew I was saving these for something, I just didn’t know what! Turns out they were pretty much made to fit an 8-pack of markers. Now each kid has their own container labeled with their class number. No more flimsy boxes that bust open!

With our busy back to school schedules, most parents at some point during the week find themselves hitting the drive-thru. Instead of handing each kid their burger, fries and drink separately – where invariably messes end up on the seats and floor of your car – place everyone’s order into a plastic caddy. Kids can balance it on their knees, whilst keeping messes contained in the caddy. This method also works great for road trips.
