I use these boxes to store precut fabric pieces for my quilts. The clear sides make it easy to see what's inside. The latches keep things in the box when I accidently knock it off the shelf to the floor. It would be great for homeschool supplies, papercrafting and scrapbooking, all types of craft supplies, even parts and small items in the workshop. Puzzles and other small items in the play room can also be organized and kept from loss by snapping the lids shut.
