i'm kinda falling in love with this idea of workboxes. 

they're a big trend on homeschool blogs, and appeal to the creative kitmaker in me.

here's the basic idea - but it's pretty ugly. 

this looks better but the logistics of 5 kids having their own 12 boxes of activities is boggling.

this would work better for us, but it's not as fun looking i think.

this idea i like. isn't it pretty? those boxes are from target - i already have one. clearly this mom is a scrapbooker. 

i'm pondering this for my youngest 3. how nice for a to have his kindergarten day all ready in boxes. he can move along independently but with help. b would be glad to know exactly how much more he had to do before he could go play legos.
