Does your house look like mine? New crafts being made daily and hung everywhere? Yes, it can get a bit overwhelming at times but for the most part I love that our kids love to create. I have a little “crafty nook” that is easily accessible to little hands so that anytime they can get the supplies themselves and go to it. A recent addition to our craft area is their own personalized crates. I used the crates from the cutie oranges that are in season now (so stock up). We eat them by the dozen around here. They are the perfect size to put a handful of markers, crayons, glue stick, tape and scissors in. Each crate has their name on it so there is high ownership of the crate itself and the contents inside. It’s also a good place to store unfinished projects or any other special trinkets that need a home. I have a stack of paper right above so when they are ready they can grab their crate, some paper and have at it. Clean up is just almost as easy. This is nice for me because they can do it all themselves and it eliminates the many questions of where is this?

How do you do craft time at your house? How do you keep it all organized?
