Taking my first paint color, I painted just the bottom crate slat in a light blue color. Then, I painted a green slat and the narrow interior sides of the wood, painted them a bright bold lime green color.
To add a little whimsy, I added black polka dots to the remainder of the crate. I used a simple pouncer, but a pencil top would also create a perfect little polka dot.
Next up I organized all our supplies in small containers! I used a mix of DIY paint cans and short jars. I love using clear containers so you can see what supplies you actually have to work with!
My kids new favorite craft supply are these foam geometric self-adhesive shapes. Those combines with the color glitter pens and they are sent for hours!
I also fell in love with the story journals, too. My kids can use them as a creative journal or a place to write out their thoughts. They are the perfect size for little hands.
