how do you organise kids' crafty stuff?

[MathsMadMummy]

it's taking over the house! bits of paper, materials, glue, stickers... argh! love it though

got no room for extra furniture (have the Ikea Trofast stuff but it's used for clothes and toys). any ideas?

I bought a few smallish plastic boxes (the kinds with lids that stack) - one for sticky stuff and pom poms (!), one for paper and one for colouring stuff - different colours for each one and they get shoved wherever at the end of the day. They're not much bigger than a large shoebox - perfect size.

yes now that DD is into crafty stuff I'm suddenly want to hoard everything for junk modelling! I actually swore at myself when I unthinkingly threw away one of those foamy pizza tray things!

Stuff them in a cupboard and 1 shelf. Will throw away anything that spills out of that space. Use various recycled boxes to store pens glue etc. Have a 1 ring binder for art stuff and fold stuff into that. Good painting go on the wall in the kitchen only and get changed every few months. So far I think the teacher has done more work than him. When he has produced something wonderful and totally independant I will frame them.
