• Cereal boxes can make stylish and colorful bookmarks.
• Use empty tissue boxes to store extra plastic bags.
• Ever find that your chips get crushed? Pop them into a box before you stuff it in the pantry.
• Small boxes (such as pudding boxes) can make great puppets!
• Open an empty cereal box and let your young child have fun coloring on the inside.

• Use empty boxes for kindling your barBQ.
• Boxes can be transformed into great building blocks.
• Finally, if you open your box flat you can drop it into a recycling bin.
