If so, check with the library or schools. Some collect items for sewing

Preschools would probably love them! I’d gladly take them for my daughter’s preschool.

Check with the special ed departments at the locals. Those types of things are great for teaching fine motor skills.

DuPage Children’s Museum could probably use them for craft projects!

I work at School Readiness Center preschool and will gladly take some or all of them. We use buttons for crafts and are always looking to replenish our stock.

I would find someone to appraise them. You could do some research on Etsy and sell them there too!

Get them appraised! They could be worth money and good to keep in a safety deposit box for your kids or cash them out and buy something special (if you do make any money) in honor of the people who gifted you the button collection.

I love to sew and would gladly take them off your hands if you want them to be used for special sewing purposes instead of glued for craft projects!

Is that your cutie in the pic? If so (or you have any others preK) hold on to 100 of them. most Kindergarten students celebrate 100th Day & they would be great sewn on a T-shirt.

Perhaps post on Etsy? Some Crafters make unique earrings out of vintage buttons

My mom is a seamstress with her own studio in Joliet. She loves antique buttons and will find amazing projects to use them on, if you haven't given them away yet. Just pm me if you'd like me to pick them up!

Buy Nothing and Freecycle are good sources, but it sounds like you’re set with the buttons.

Scarce. org might take them. They collect items to reuse and teachers can go there and take what they need.

Ummm .so my kids used liquid “chalk pens” on the sidewalk and I don’t know why I didn’t think about it before that it wouldn’t be a good idea but it seems as though the pens they used are not coming off the driveway (whereas the regular chalk did come off with the rain last night).
