Poker Chips and Gladware

So in order to keep moments like this

to a minimum we sometimes have to come up with creative ways to keep our little guy occupied.
His newest obsession is poker chips.  He knows where they're kept and loves to pull them out and sling them across the room.  But lacks the dexterity to put them back in their little sleeves.  So our new solution:  Gladware.

I stole this idea from the gymnastics class at the YMCA.  They slit a hole in the top of gladware and the kids LOVE putting poker chips through the slit.  Genius.  And cheap. 

So now when I walk into a room and the floor is littered with poker chips, I can hand him the gladware and ask him to pick them up.  "O-Tay mama" he says (LOVE how he says that.  Don't ever grow up little man.)   Clean-Up is now a game. :)
