Babies require a lot of gear. From car seats to high chairs to cribs, they sure take up a lot of real estate with all their stuff — especially given how tiny they are.

When your babies are all grown up, though, what do you do with all those items? Of course, you could sell them or pass them on to a family member or friend who is just beginning their parenting journey. Or you can repurpose them and turn them into something brand-new.

When it comes to the baby’s crib, there are many clever ways you can repurpose it. Check out these seven ingenious ways to give an old baby crib a second life.

1. Child’s Desk

Turning a crib into a desk for art projects or homework does not even require unassembling or reassembling it, and it makes for a super-cute addition to your child’s room. Get the how-to from Desert Chica.
