Craft Essentials | Compact and Organised

It's no secret I'm a huge fan of craft corners, craft spaces and even craft rooms in all their glory. They enable children to access their own age appropriate craft at all times. 

Its also a great idea to be able to keep some craft nearby in another area of the home for children to access at any given time, as well as, or even instead of a dedicated craft space.  Be it the kitchen while you're cooking tea, the playroom or in the family room to be used whilst spending a quiet Sunday morning (who actually has those??!).
​
Here are a few essentials I find work well.  The best way is to keep the items simple and minimal, and rotate the supplies regularly.

• Paper - a small note pad and blank A4 paper
• Pencils - IKEA pencils come in great colours and the wood has a lovely sensory feel
• Oil pastels - Micador are our favourite!

• Glue stick
• Pom poms
• Wiggle eyes
• Coloured buttons
• Scissors (as with all craft, with supervision!)
• Nature craft

How the craft is organised and stored is the key  - choosing the right craft box makes it easy to pack up and appealing to children!
