When kids outgrow their crib or kiddie pool, don’t throw them away–reuse them! Here’s some inspiration:
Turn the old kiddie pool into a raised garden bed.
The sandbox also makes a great raised bed.
When they’re over the playhouse, turn it into a chicken coop.
Swing sets also make good chicken coops.
The old Pack ‘n Play can make a toddler bed (or fort).
Got a couple of kiddie pools? How about a fountain?
Turn the crib into a desk.
Or into a spiffy new bench.
