Baby Wipes - Lots of Uses From Laura Chandler, a fifth grade teacher at E. E. Miller Elementary School in North Carolina: ìI have discovered lots of uses for the ordinary baby wipe! I ask parents to send in a box of wipes during the first week of school and store the collection throughout the year. Baby wipes are wonderful for cleaning the overhead projector, classroom charts, desks and other items. I seat my students in teams and after a messy cooperative activity, I ask a team member to take a single wipe and wipe all desks. Best of all, the boxes make wonderful storage containers for science materials, math manipulatives and game pieces. I use a marker to label each with the contents so I can see at a glance whatís what.î
