My Scissors and tape were constantly disappearing. Constantly. My youngest child is a born “maker”. His favorite birthday present this year involved a laundry machine box that I picked up at our local ABC Warehouse. I looked a little odd carrying a huge empty box across the parking lot, but it was definitely worth it. He did get other presents as well, I’m not a complete cheap-skate!
When I say he is a “maker”, I mean making really creative projects straight out of his little 7 year old brain AND making really impressive messes. Although we have a dedicated Maker Space Area in our basement with creative building supplies, the materials and tools tend to travel all over the house … and the scissors and tape from our kitchen consistently go missing.
I put together this Mobile Maker Station Toolbox in an effort to contain HIS creative chaos!
This system is approved by my crafty kid and is helping keep our home a little more organized. I hope it helps you to keep the creative clutter under control in your home or classroom as well!
ALSO….if your kids or students are looking for creative inspiration, I have a set of 50 maker station task cards that could provide hours of entertainment, or great “early finisher” activities! Click here!
