Now that we are getting excited about math and MUS program, it was time to give our blocks a new home, instead of their cardboard box they came in. I’d been lusting after the wooden box that Math-U-See sells on their website, but balked at the $40 price. So yesterday we took a trip to The Container Store and found this Small Hobby Case for just $14.99. It turned out perfect!

There is a spot just the right size for almost all the 11 size MUS blocks. Only one compartment shares two blocks, but if I was very anal, I could purchase a small divider to separate them. I used my handy Label Maker to churn out labels in fun fonts so we know where the blocks go.

Like a little tackle box, it folds up neatly.
And is just the right size/weight for four year old hands to pick up and tote around.

Because we’ll be starting MUS Alpha by this fall, or possibly August, I purchased the Completer Set of blocks, bringing our set of blocks to at least 10 pieces of each, with 40 green Unit blocks. This tote will hold all but 5 of the huge Hundreds blocks. Most spaces will allow the complete set to fit PERFECTLY, some will have to stack on top of each other like Legos, but they’ll still all fit nicely when the box is closed. We should get the extra blocks next week, and of course I’ll update with a picture of our full MUS Block box.
