I found a really great storage container for things like glue sticks, safety scissors, pencils, crayons, tape, etc.

We have been buying Folgers coffee in the plastic container, with a pop-off lid. This is PERFECT for keeping these items.

I generally use one for crayons, one for pens and pencils, and one for miscellaneous small school supplies, such as tape, glue, etc.

They are nice because the lids are easy to use, and being plastic, they are very durable.

And no sharp edges on the can to worry about!
