Homeschooling on a Dollar~Magazine organizer & Mail Box

DIY magazine holder, and Dollar Tree Mail Box

These are both 1 dollar items from the Dollar Tree or made from items bought at the Dollar Tree. The red polka dot box, with the magazines. Is actually a box from Costco when we bought the box of instant red potatoes. I kept it and cut off the top, and used 1 roll of Dollar Tree red polka dot decorative duct tape. And just covered it. I used cheaper plain duct tape inside the bottom to make it stronger. I love it. It works great to keep old magazines for collages, art projects and such in.

The mail box was as is from Dollar Tree in the Valentines decor section. They had many designs to choose from. I chose this one for it's lack of Valentines message and just plain love theme, with out the Valentines. We will use it for playing "mail" in school. Real snail mail letters and post cards! Play mail boxes from many homeschool and teacher and school supply stores are upwards of 70 to 150 dollars! So my find for 1 dollar I am pretty happy with. We will be able to use it to teach writing, reading, and how the US snail mail system works in general. The children are extremely exited to use it.
