When kids get beyond the sticking-everything-into-their-mouth stage, buttons can serve as a handy boredom buster/learning tool for practicing sorting and categorization skills.

And if you you're lucky enough to have a container brimming with buttons, you could have a fun kid crafting session creating button designs for greeting cards that could refill your correspondence coiffure in advance of all the spring tea parties and summer barbecues you're sure to be invited to. Jessica at How about Orange even has a free down-loadable template for a simple button flower stem to use if you need inspiration.

Buttons don't like to be stored in jars for long, so share your buttony goodness with others!
