I need help organizing. The kids have coloring books, crayons, paints, markers, playdough, glue sticks, etc. I had a small drawer, but their collection has grown. What do you do to keep the art supplies tamed?

Re: Moms of toddlers and older
I put a cheap shelf over the desk area in our basement/lower living room - using cheap brackets and shelf from Menards. Then I got white craft boxes on clearance at Michaels and put all the craft stuff in them. I wanted them accessible but out of reach since he isn't old enough to have free reign of craft stuff yet.
I really like this idea for the markers/glue sticks, etc as well
That is adorable.
T's playroom has been a work in progress since September. I suck. But ya know, he loves that room. Absolutely loves it.
Hopefully it will be finished before he is too old for it.
We have a collection of canvas bins from Target and plastic lidded storage boxes from Dollar Tree for Caleb's stuff. He also has a little plastic lap desk from Learning Express (when it was going out of business) that has two end pockets. I keep some workbooks in there, coloring books in a bin, writing implements in a plastic tub, play-doh in a bin, markers and paints in a drawer he can't reach...
The canvas bins live on a bookshelf in our living/dining room. The plastic bins can be slid under his bed or placed on a higher shelf depending on what's in them.
