Craft organizers for kids’ rooms
Wherein we get hung up on art-supply storage Friday, September 15, 2006
Like most kindergarteners, Kidakaze does a lot of coloring. She has quite the collection for a girl of her tender years — crayons, markers, chalk, paint, glitter glue. And like most kindergarteners, she’s not exactly an organizational expert. Thus, her room looks a lot like the school-supply aisle at our local superstore … if the superstore happened to stock all its merchandise underfoot.
As always, parenting magazines have just the solution for such a situation: The humble hanging shoe organizer. Only problem is, most shoe organizers are designed to be seen by nobody save the moths in the back of Granny’s closet, not to be prominently displayed in a playroom or or little princess’ palace.
However, Mamakaze has discovered that with a little hunting online, one can find just about anything. A few clicks of the mouse, and we found a closet organizer in the cutest shade of kiwi. A little more surfing and we managed to find organizers in hues to satisfy all sartorial styles, and even an island-inspired palm-tree print.
Our favorite? That very first gorgeous green closet organizer, pictured at left, that we spotted for $18 at Organize.com (online only) .
Now Kidakaze’s art-supply storage will be just as appealing as her little Crayola masterpieces.
