Here are some other blogs discussing the workbox system.
Leslie has several posts on workboxes: Post #1 , Post #2, Post #3, Post #4, Post #5
Jessica adapted the system to fit her large family without taking up so much space. Read about that here.
Ami has some helpful posts on her blog. Check out her sidebar on the right for about 5 different links, including tons of ideas and free downloads!
Seriously...I love this system. Betsie is SO happy to be included with her own work. She fizzles out before the 12th box, but she hangs in there for most of it. I have been putting in a DVD for her last box and leaving that time to work with the older girls on something that isn't as easy with a little one around. That has worked nicely.
The workbox system DOES TAKE SOME WORK! I am getting faster and smarter about what goes in the boxes, but it does take some time depending on what you are wanting to do. But the payoff is so great. Spending a little time yesterday to put the baking soda, vinegar, and clay in a box last night meant that we actually made a volcano today. And I didn't have to walk around for 10 minutes saying, "Now where did I put that clay?" Just sayin'. I love how this is working for me (and many others), but not everyone will love it and that is okay. But I do hope someone will find this info helpful!

I'm going to look at some of these links. I especially need the one about taking up less space because one of the main things I thought of when I saw this was "How neat, but I'd never find room for all those boxes!"
Thanks for posting the links.
