Plum Pudding uses her cereal boxes for postcards, booklets, and mailers - get the details here :)
Art Projects for Kids shows you how to make mini books from her cereal boxes.
I like to use them as gift boxes (especially for those hard to wrap presents) and also cut them down for drawer organizers.
If you have other great uses for cereal boxes let everyone know here in the comments!

Lots of great ideas. Never thought of the drawer organisers. So clever. I make them into magazine holders, covered with pretty paper, and my kids use them for painting on and making Junk-bots. Lots and lots of Junk-bots!

Great Ideas!
I'm regretting all of the cereal boxes I have thrown out or recycled over the years! Darn.

I used to use them as magazine holders.

Very cool. We cut them up for Artist Trading Card bases, but these ideas are wonderful!

They also make great shadow puppets because of the stiffness.

We simply use them for collaging onto. The stiffness allows for heavier items then paper such as pasta and potpourri.
