Organization is one thing that went completely out the window when I had a baby. Of course, when they are small you have all the time in the world to organize, spend time with them and also fit in a few hours of showing them off from time to time to others. But, once they hit the age of about 1 1/2 to 2 years old, organization, especially with more than one child, becomes something that is hard to grasp onto and hold tightly.
Here is a quick and fun way to organize the art supplies of your kids and teach your children to pick up after them self too.
These little galvanized pails are the best for holding small, yet useful items around your house. Here I have used them for art supplies such as, markers, crayons, pens and pencils. They are the neatest, yet effective way to keep art supply clutter to a minimum.
You could even do what I've done here and label them so that everything goes back into it's original place once your child is done using them.
These little cans are a great way to dress up any play room, art room or just an office. You can pick up some larger ones like the ones pictured below from
Pottery Barn and dress up your child's room completely.
Or you can stick with the smaller cans like the ones pictured above. You can snag your own set or individual ones from places like
