It's IKEA. DD can pull out whatever she wants and it usually gets put back. This way it's accessible whenever but isn't just left on the table. I am an artist myself so it's nice to have some separation of professional versus kid supplies. I also will rotate some supplies if we get some new stuff. Plus it's cute.</p> <p>[attach=6372/15/nuoqvy.225x225.images.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-your-art-supplies#post-2289612 Sun, 13 Sep 2015 10:14:20 +0000 Cherrybee 2289612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep mine in the garage in plastic boxes. I bring in what I need when I plan an activity. Maria Montessori would be turning in her grave but out of sight is out of mind and this prevents an episode of "I want paint paint" as we are trying to leave the house, not to mention the drawing on the wall antics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-your-art-supplies#post-2289595 Sun, 13 Sep 2015 09:30:24 +0000 Bao 2289595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: and then we have paper, puzzles, coloring books on those cheap bookshelves from Target. </p> [attach=1420/15/numdmp.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-your-art-supplies#post-2289593 Sun, 13 Sep 2015 09:26:10 +0000 travellingbee 2289593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of creative solutions here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-your-art-supplies#post-2289585 Sun, 13 Sep 2015 09:02:26 +0000 Bao 2289585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have them in mason jars on the kid table. </p> [attach=1420/15/numce8.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-your-art-supplies#post-2289577 Sun, 13 Sep 2015 08:04:37 +0000 Chuckles 2289577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use these stacking containers from Joann Fabrics. I like that they are clear and snap together. But my LO is two and doesn't have a ton of art supplies yet. We also keep a small tin of crayons and stickers available that he can access without help. They are next to some butcher paper that I taped on the wall. </p> <p><a href="http://cdn-us-ec.yottaa.net/551561a8312e580499000ac6/6dfc9540b6ba0132c6c50a3ba3fac80a.yottaa.net/v~c.25/aamm_prd/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-joann-product-catalog/default/dw5f8f2eb5/images/hi-res/90/9058512.jpg?yocs=2_&#038;yoloc=us" rel="nofollow">http://cdn-us-ec.yottaa.net/551561a8312e580499000ac6/6dfc9540b6ba0132c6c50a3ba3fac80a.yottaa.net/v~c.25/aamm_prd/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-joann-product-catalog/default/dw5f8f2eb5/images/hi-res/90/9058512.jpg?yocs=2_&#038;yoloc=us</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-your-art-supplies#post-2289568 Sun, 13 Sep 2015 07:25:44 +0000 yin 2289568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the rolling cart from Ikea for art supplies.

The only art supplies that are easily accessible to her are crayons, markers, and scissors. I hide the paper - she has to ask to be able to draw or else it becomes a huge mess. I also hide all paints (we mainly use watercolors). If she wants to paint, she asks us and I take it out of hiding. </p> [attach=1448/15/num158.250x250.53482_PE156764_S3.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-your-art-supplies#post-2289543 Sun, 13 Sep 2015 02:04:56 +0000 Bubbles 2289543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following!

They hang off metal rod that's also from ikea (kitchen). Markers go in a old diaper tub. Coloring books and such go in a rolling art suitcase or a drawer in her dress up dresser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-your-art-supplies#post-2289427 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 17:47:08 +0000 travellingbee 2289427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like crayons, paint brushes, coloring books etc. I need a system.
