daysaregifts Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Does anyone have some good systems and pictures? Where could I purchase something like this? I'm picturing like cups/glasses things holding each thing (pencils, crayons, scissors, etc.) and all are together in some kind of tray/basket. This way the child could take either one cup/glass to another place, or the whole tray/basket. TIA organized ones! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perogi Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Ikea has some nice storage containers that all hang on a wall mounted rail - little buckets and such. That could work well - I've coveted them for a while ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Plum Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 We used plastic cups to hold the supplies, then used a shower caddy to hold the cups. It was convenient and worked very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggie Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Not quite what you were looking for, but this is how I organized all our school things. I am planning on doing a blogpost with details, but it won't go up until next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profmom Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Here's the closet I organized last summer, with a second pic of the small drawers (purchased at Wal-Mart) I use for supplies. I love the uniform look of the drawers, and everything is easy to find. Editing to add that a cleaning caddy (green in my pic) is great for portability of markers, etc. for kids.

NotAVampireLvr Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I find a lot of great stuff for this in the Target bargain area at the front of the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) I keep our pencils, colored pencils, and calligraphy pens sorted by types in mason jars on our window ledge. The ledge is within reach of the table, so it is very convenient. I also have a basket with erasers and a caddy that holds the various types of paper we use. It looks nice enough that I don't mind having the school supplies sitting in my kitchen. My kids were wasting time looking for paper and pencils, so this has been ideal for us.

Tutor Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 We have one of those picnic table cutlery holders for everyday supplies. The basket is divided into four sections: three smaller ones for forks, knives, and spoons and a fourth larger one for napkins. We've divided the bins as follows: 1st small section: colored pencils 2nd small section: markers & pens 3rd small section: regular pencils Large section: calculators, rulers, protractors, compasses We have a shelf near the dining/ school table with those little drawer units from WalMart that someone else posted that contain dry erase markers, staples, elastics, post-it notes, post-it flags, flash cards, math manipulatives, blank index cards, etc. Paper is stored in magazine holders on the shelf below these drawers along with the kids' textbooks. Teacher's manuals and a bin of computer software and CDs is on the top shelf. I'll try to post pictures later if I can. It's rather dark and gloomy for taking pictures today, but I'll give it a shot.
