crayon holder craftiness

i was in love with this boon bottle drying rack from the day i found out i was pregnant with hadley. i just thought it was the most stylish, yet full of purpose drying rack out there. it worked great for us with her dr. browns bottles. loved that you could toss it in the dishwasher too.

once we were out of the bottle phase, it just didn't really hold a purpose on our counter anymore. then for whatever reason one day while we were coloring, i realized that the drying rack would make the absolute perfect little crayon holder. it displays all of the colorful crayons perfectly and made it easy for hads to grab (and put back) a crayon of her choice with her newly gripping fingers. clean up time was made easier too. no more cramming all of the crayons back into the small box.

we definitely still use this now.

plus, i think the all of these pretty colors brighten up our little playroom.
