It’s almost Summer! P has one day of school left before she’s done with the 2nd grade & she’s been coming home every day for the last few weeks carrying a backpack filled to the brim with papers. I’ve been weeding out the most important papers and recycling the rest, but what to do with the papers that make the final cut? Mailing boxes. They’re the right size. They’re compact. And they’re stackable. Label the outside with the relevant school year and voila! Organized chaos.

I'm Allison, founder and editor of Petit Elefant. I run the gamut from granola to glamour and love everything in between. I think the beach is always a good idea, as is Diet Dr. Pepper; on ice. Sometimes I put out the fires and sometimes I start them. Sometimes I really do have it all together. Sometimes my children say otherwise. We just like to keep it real around here.
Thanks for the tip; Im a teacher and could use this in the classroom to store papers!

oh, they are also free, you clever cookie!
… and usps.com delivers them for free too!
(and they have shoebox size ones, which are perfect for school projects)
I couldn’t agree with you more on the use of these boxes!
Great idea! School papers pile up next to the fridge at our house. I try to sneakily throw some away from time to time, but even that doesn’t help!
Perfect! I love this!
Such a great idea. You just saved me TONS of money. I was going to Target to buy something to put their artwork in. Thank you. Great suggestion. It will be a breeze to stack.
Try wrapping them in beautiful fabric or wrapping paper for a nicer look!
