Kids Home Art Studio

We make a ton of art at home! Over the weekend, it was time to reassess what is used, what could be used better, and what needs to be tossed, and what is needed. Behold our shelves (still going strong...thank you, Ikea!) and all that lives in them. Read on for more info...

Top Row (L-R): 1) artwork made by kiddo; 2) funnels and salad spinner for mega spin art; 3) pipettes, foam rollers, brushes/water cups, glitter, hot glue guns and glue; 4) basket of scotch tape, clear bin of wash tape, assorted glues, lego tape and roadway tape

Second Row from top (L-R): 1) odd assortment of art books and a coin jar; 2) clear bins with loose parts (shells, rocks, glass cubes), clear bins with crayons and oil pastels, clear "junk" bin with kid-picked items, fun scissors; 3) stickers!; 4) LightBrite, Spirograph, travel art kit
