Support Your Budding Artist:: Kids' Art Supply Storage

My daughter loves to do art projects both at school and at home.  My dad built her a great table for her art work to go with some chairs I found on Craigslist a long time ago.  My mom painted them in a great finish which has an antique look but which is super durable.  We still keep a lot of supplies in clear plastic boxes but I like to keep a few things easily accessible on the table. 



In the office section at HomeGoods, I found this paper organizer and a pen caddy which both worked perfectly for storing the often used art supplies.  The paper organizer even has a place for pictures in the front.  Eventually, I'll convince Elizabeth (or Alex) to make her own pictures to put in there but for now these are the photos she chose to display.

On a side note, the crayons in the red plastic box are made by Melissa and Doug and we love them - incredibly durable! 


How do you keep your own or your kids' art supplies organized?

  1. I was just thinking about how to better organize my daughter's art supplies today. Unfortunately with a baby in the house I can't leave them out like yours and there are just too many coloring books, papers and numerous crayola drawing instruments. Right now I have them in 2 plastic storage containers in the bottom of the coat closet but I'm sure there's a better option out there...

  2. Hi Katie! The smaller caddy actually spends a lot of time on the kitchen table - away from the littlest fingers in our house. Thanks for stopping by!
