Organize and Plan for Arts and Crafts

Organize your supplies so that your children have easy access to new experiences every day. It’s hard to be creative when you are worried about getting marker on the table, play dough in the carpet, or paint on the walls, so set up a “safe” craft haven for your little one. Choose an area that is uncarpeted and can be their own creative space. Purchase a kid-size table and chairs and keep cleaning supplies handy. Baby wipes are great for wiping markers and paint off of little one’s hands and the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser really does work magic. Make their space extra special by creating a place for them to post their artwork after they’ve finished creating. A simple clothesline is the most affordable “art gallery” for their mini masterpieces.
