My mom found the containers at Costco, and they've been perfect. Granted, there's a few things that don't fit in the containers, like a big wooden train, but that stays in a special place until it's that day's quiet time (and a sticky note goes in the container that says "train"). I got some new things to fill the boxes, raided my mom's old toys and some fav's of Spencer's. Puzzles, coloring rolls, etch-a-sketch, finger-paint, shapes, playdoh... just a few of the things that are stashed in the boxes. Now every afternoon he asks me if it's time for "quiet time" because he loves the boxes. Wahoo!

That's genius, Sarah! Good work!
I'm SOOOO glad you found something that works. I hope it will continue to be something he looks forward to and that Jordan will continue to nap and not be TOO interested in the fun quiet time fun activities! =)
Such a great idea! I think I may have to do that!
