Organising their craft supplies may seem like an arduous task but really all it takes is some plastic storage bins, labelling pens and a dedicated storage area.
Create the Storage Zone
This can be in a corner of their room or anywhere around the house. The area should be set aside to store all the craft supplies – you can use a small cabinet or some shelves.
As much as possible, avoid having a single container for all the items – as it will be harder to find the things that are needed.
