We use a wipe container for crayons and colored pencils. Magazine holders for coloring books and another for notebooks and scratch paper. </p> <p>Another fun one is those glitter glue pens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-craft-station#post-2602702 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 15:29:57 +0000 PinkElephant 2602702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pipe cleaners, pony beads, colored glitter glue, rhinestones/sequins, feathers. Different textures of paint applicators (makeup sponges, bottle brushes, stamps)...and most importantly a variety of "canvases". Large foam/plywood/card stock shapes, crown and magic wand kits from the dollar store, seasonal shapes I pre-cut....</p> <p>Also I didn't check your profile for how old the kiddos are, but you also may want to be wary of how accessible your craft storage is, my 2 and 4 year olds recently made each other into "meow meows" (cats) in a few unsupervised minutes with access to markets and dot paint. The back tattoos were sort of hilarious...the coloring all over their eyelids, less so. 😜 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-craft-station#post-2602693 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 15:14:28 +0000 avivoca 2602693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, I have markers, crayons, paper, and finger paints. I keep the markers, paints, and paper on a shelf in her closet, but once we get the office cleared up, they will have a table in there with access to things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-craft-station#post-2602688 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 15:02:52 +0000 rattles 2602688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other things in our stock are popsicle sticks, foam sheets and shape stickers, tissue paper squares, markers, crayons, colored pencils, yarn/twine, beads, stamps, ink, pipe cleaners, glitter glue, paper plates and card stock. </p> <p>We have them stored on an ikea Raskog cart in Glis boxes and mason jars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-craft-station#post-2602655 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 14:12:46 +0000 Mrs D 2602655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bonus points for sharing your storage techniques... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-craft-station#post-2602652 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 14:10:58 +0000 Mrs D 2602652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So - I am looking to build a crafting station...especially as I come into the Fall/Winter season here in the midwest.</p> <p>This summer while I was working on some Disney Princess Footprint canvases I stocked up on paints in various colors and its been great.</p> <p>Wonder what you all have in your kids crafting supplies?</p> <p>Here are my initial thoughts: paints, glues (sticks and liquid), shaped scissors, kid freindly scissors, colored papers galore, cotton balls/colored pom poms, those little eyes...</p> <p>What else? </p>
