Collecting Crap

Do your kids like to collect, well, crap? My girls (ages 3 & 5) think it's the coolest thing in the world to find and keep trash. They see every shiny sequin, piece of glitter, rock, bead, even threads, on the ground, pick it up and put it in their "jewelry boxes." They also take pieces from art projects and hide them away like little squirrels. I worry mostly because my 10-month old WILL put them in his mouth and try to eat them. The OCD in me also hates the mess.

Sometimes I throw their "prizes" away when they're not paying attention. I let my 5 year old make a piece of art with hers because she threw a tantrum when I told her she had to throw them away. Here's my 3 year's old stash after a recent cleaning by me.
