Your baby has outgrown it. You can’t sell it because it is against the law. You wouldn’t want to give a potentially dangerous crib away because you would always be fearful that something might happen.
So, what can you do with that drop-side crib? Turn it into firewood? NO WAY.

Seriously-you people are brilliant! Why can’t my brain work this way??
LOL. I cannot take ANY credit for these ideas. Without Pinterest, I am brain-dead.
Our daycare also had to get rid of their cribs. The owner turned four of the crib ends( which are clear plexiglass) into an 4 sided easel for the bigger kids. I recovered the the matteress for the school-age children to use in book area. the 2-4 year olds use them for tumbleing mats.
What wonderful ideas! I love that instead of sending them to a landfill, you guys got creative. 😀
