Do you ever have one of those "zones" that just can not stay cleaned?!
I have too many of them in my house.
So i am dealing with one of them today...the dreaded "kids creative corner"
This is on a good day. Usually there are papers and markers, crayons and books everywhere.
I keep pulling my hair out trying to keep up with it!
So what I did was empty out those plastic bins. Completely. Everything out! I then went through the pile, decided whether to keep or trash. For the most part, I trashed because they have too much crap!
I then designated a drawer for each kid. I put their own crayon box and their own coloring books in it. They are now responsible for their drawer!
Grabbed a huge trash bag and threw the rest away, and sigh...all clean and organized.
I have realized that my kids don't need 1000 coloring books, 100's markers, crayons and scissors. I need to limit what they have so it doesn't over take me!
What supplies do you give your kids when creating?

We have 1 bin of each: crayons, colored pencils, markers, cray-pas, and glitter glue. Then I have those small buckets from the target dollar spot (love them!) to hold scissors and glue sticks, 1 for each kid! We have 1 drawer for writing notebooks, and 1 drawer for coloring books. I try and re-org it once a month, tossing out all broken crayons and used coloring books. Because it can turn into a total pit!!
