40+ Of The Best Craft Storage Ideas for Kids
Today I want to share some of the best craft storage ideas for kids! I have a huge love and a special place in my heart for crafting with my kids. I truly believe it helps with the development of our little kiddies and I will do it until I can’t anymore. But all that crafting also tends to generate tons of supplies.
It is absolutely essential to get organized if you are planning on doing activities with the kids often.
There are a lot more parents then every before jumping int the world of activities and home schooling, so I hope that this post can be just a bit of inspiration for any parent looking for organization and balance! (I also recently did a post on closet organization ideas for kids if you are looking for more)

Craft Storage Ideas
Crafts are a part of my fondest childhood memories, that why I love to do them with my kids. It helps so much to have an organized space where we can find what we need. I have included just a few short tips below to get you started if you are thinking about reorganizing!
–
- Create a designated space! Environment is a key and the point of this post! Don’t skip this step!
- PLAN out your space and make sure you take the size of that space into account.
- Be creative with storage, use different sized storage options for different materials.
- Get some support. Don’t do it all alone if you are taking on a big closet project. Let the kids help sort!
- Give each type of item their own home. Use a glass or plastic container, for example, so you and your kids are able to see what you have. Rather than throwing everything in a big box to get mixed up, this option will provide ease and also save your sanity lol.
Take a look at the example below!

Thank you so much for this. Having kids to be organised can quite be a serious work but when all things have been set right and in the right place, things can be a lot better than we imagined. What you shared here is simply good and I really value all these here. Thank you for the suggestions here to help ensure proper organisation of their crafts. Thanks
Kayla
You’re very welcome! I’m glad that you enjoyed it!

Hi! I amrenovating a room for my kids and one thing I end up realising is the fact that they have so many pencils, books and stuff. That’s why I’m looking for storage options. I like the Drawer Craft Storage Cabinet as it can save space and store all their stuff!
Kayla
I like that one too! Good luck on your renovations!
Sunny
Hi Kayla,
First of all, I love your website! I love the idea as well 🙂 Never heard of “mompreneur” and it sounds very innovative to me.
Btw, I agree with everything you said regarding the organization of the craft supplies. I also feel it’s a good post for the people like me, having lots of arts and crafts supplies just for my own good. Honestly, I wish that in Serbia we have Michael’s store so I can supply my future arts and crafts corner even more 🙂
Kayla
Aww Yes I love Michael’s! I’m glad you enjoyed the post and thinks for coming by!

This has been a really useful article for me and for my family. I don’t have kids but my mom does, she has my two little siblings who are still very young, I will be showing her this article and I am sure that she will have a lot of questions, I hope I can go ahead and ask them here on this post when I show her this. Thank you very much for this very useful and valuable article
Kayla
