I got a few a while back and love them for puzzles and games and such. Anyway I've got a button on my blog to look at them or just go over to hers. You'll find a ton of great ideas for doing this. <BR/><BR/>We actually have started putting all our games in bags too, storing is much easier that way. What I'd recommend to do as well is first make sure the bags are extra big so there is room to spare and for kids to get everything in on their own, second, get more durable bags either ziplocs or glad because they are a little thicker than walmart brand and will last longer. Finally, it sounds like you've thought of this, either have them in a bigger container or label an extra bag missing pieces. That way when you find random pieces around the house, you can just put them in that extra bag and sort them/find their homes later. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Angela Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15839443261200410777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986101129340244815.post-27637325102285999882008-01-16T14:49:00.000-06:002008-01-16T14:49:00.000-06:00A friend of mine does something similar.

That way if a lone piece is found say, in the couch, she knows exactly which puzzle it belongs to!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986101129340244815.post-43974494854025640172008-01-16T10:24:00.000-06:002008-01-16T10:24:00.000-06:00They have the extra large plastic bags now that I ...They have the extra large plastic bags now that I think would hold large board games. And that might be an idea that you could sell to Ziploc or Glad--to produce an extra durable bag sized for children's games, toy pieces and puzzles. The puzzle idea is a GREAT one!

I have alway thought of storing the boards together and zipbagging the tokens/pieces, but I didnt want to lose the picture. I think we are going to scan them.....But I wonder if they are too big....hmmm.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12868104676369118705noreply@blogger.com
