When it comes to organizing a child’s art materials, a child’s coloring book storage system is a fantastic solution. This type of organizer keeps stacks of crayons, colored pencils and other art supplies off the floor where small hands can get at them. A great place to store these items is in a wooden or metal hutch that attaches to the wall and has several tiers of wooden shelves, some with open spaces for crayons or colored pencils to be stored in, others with shutters that can be locked to keep small hands out of your child’s art supplies.
Book racks also make good book shelf storage solutions. There are many colorful wooden letters that would look great as part of a child’s art room decorations. They can be used to hang various types of toys on them, or they could be used to position the various pages of coloring books on a flat surface such as a wooden crate. In either case, this type of storage system is a wonderful way to store a child’s coloring books without making the room cluttered.
In addition to wooden bookshelves and crates, there are many other types of art supply storage options that you can use to keep everything organized. One of the best ways to prevent clutter in a child’s art supplies is to give them plastic bags that are made just for art supplies so that they can put their supplies in a neat pile or container and keep everything else out of sight. Clear plastic buckets can also be good choices since you can see what’s inside and you can sort the supplies out easily. Wooden hampers or tubs that attach to the wall can be another option, but keep in mind that not everything should stay in a hamper or tub. For safety reasons, it is very important that your child learn how to keep their supplies off the floor, especially if they have a lot of art supplies, scissors, crayons and other materials that can be accidentally dropped, stained or broken.
