Kids Craft Stuff

We do a fair bit of crafting in this house and so when it came to how to store it for the sake of my sanity and with soooo many small pieces of glitter/paint and glue etc I have these along a shelf in the playroom away from sticky fingers. The things that can cause a lot less damage like crayons, chalk, colouring in books etc and kept on the table and within arms reach. This system works for us as there is a little bit of trust there for him to behave but also things like paint kept up high, as he gets older I plan on having these within easy access for him.

Everything you see on the shelf including the actual shelf is from that glorious blue building named Ikea (I have shares in that place !!)  Starting from the left the blue containers have various little compartments and we have one for wooden threads beads to make necklaces etc and the other houses lots of trains !The little tin canisters I got just top break up the sea of plastic containers but they have been handing for those little  pieces of toys that you find when tidying up.  The clear containers are full of various larger craft items like sponges, glitter pens, playdough toys etc. And the coloured containers have crayons, textas, finger puppets in them.

The little canvases we made from some Ikea fabric that we just stretched over some basic canvas squares, just to add a little splash of colour !
