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.
