What's working

Posted in Homeschooling

Stacy was asking about storage solotion's for  'Things without a home'. Specifically arts supplies. Here are 2 places that do the job well around here. The dresser I found out in the family bunk house and our so called bin holders I bought at Target.

The 8 drawers hold:

1.  for coloring books
2. for extra pens and coloring tools
3. painting stuff
4. push pins, tape, glue, ruler's, labeler....
5 & 6 math manipilatives
7 binder supplies - dividers, page protectors...
8. random art supplies, stencils

*small bins are their own supplies
*red bin is their fun papers and books that they play with
*blue is their school books
As you can see my one guy is a saver. This is what his red box looked like when he put it away this afternoon. The rule of the house is, if it doesn't fit in your space, you have too much stuff. This helps keep down on clutter. Some say good-bye easier than others.
