my kids have soo many pens, pencils, craft sets etc and they are driving me insane (currently nesting and decluttering!). I want to get rid of a lot of the colouring pencils etc but what do I do with them? will the school want them? I'm assuming they get a load every September.
but also where to store the ones we are keeping? We have a large expetit unit in the living room and all that sort of thing Is on there. They have pots/cups where the pencils etc are stored upright so they can easily use them. But I have found that I've spent days decluttering the unit and as soon as I add the pencils etc back it instantly looks cluttered again. (I can't put them on the lower 3 levels as DS gets them and tips them all out). So they are always at eye level for adults. just fed up of my house looking like a playgroup!
