To solve my organizational dilemma of how to keep
the crafting materials neat without going over-budget, we made our own
brush/pencil/marker/craft stock holder box. All it really took was an old
tissue box and some tape! This is so super-simple to make and your child can
dress it up however she wants. She can make a rainbow pattern, her own
initials, shapes or the letter “A” for art. If you’re reading that last line
and thinking, “Wow! She might also learn a lesson or two!” you’re right. If
you’re working on learning her first letter, have her add that to the design.
If math is on the agenda, play with patterns, shapes or talk about fractions
(divide the sides into fourths using different colors). When she’s done with
her project, fill it with art tools and set it on a table or desk. It is ready
for use – and, it looks pretty too!
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
A tall tissue box—You can use a flat one
for other arts and crafts items such as scrap collage paper or crayons.
·
Duct tape – Choose the colorful kind.
You can use as many colors as your child wants. If you really want to get
fancy, try a patterned version (I’ve even seen mac and cheese duct tape).
·
Scissors
Here’s What to Do:
1. Start
at the top of the box. Peel off a piece of tape that is slightly longer than
the box top. Press the tape onto the top. Remind your child to avoid the
opening. If she covers some of it, you can always cut away the extra later.
2. Continue
peeling tape until your child covers the entire box top.
3. Move
down to the sides. Peel and stick the tape on all four sides of the box.
4. Add
a design. Make a pattern by cutting thinner or smaller pieces of tape. Your
child can add lines, make shapes or create letters.

Genius! My arts and crafts supplies could certainly use some (okay, A LOT!) of organization but I hate to spend the money on it. A tissue box I can handle! ;)
