Creative Uses for Clementine Crates

Can you spot the clementine crate above? Not only are clementines kid-friendly because they're so sweet and easy to peel, but the boxes they come in can also be reused in various ways around the home. We use ours in the pantry, but the Darling brand of clementines even devotes a whole page of their website to the crates!

The Darling website might give you some inspiration, and here are a few more ideas:

• Little beds for dolls
• Install four wheels and create push toys
• Use them in play kitchens as dish racks or oven trays.
• Nail a bunch together to create a small stage

Anyone else have any unique uses for those crates?
