My kids love getting together a few Saturdays a year to spend the afternoon making arts and crafts. This is tons of fun for the kids, who get to use their imagination and creativity along with colorful, interesting bits of supplies to build projects with their own hands. Unfortunately, it can be messy and chaotic, too. And as the parent involved with the project, it certainly comes with its fair share of hassles. When the kids don't want to share the resources it can get very ugly.
One of my methods for getting around the sharing problem is to provide each of them with a full crafts kit of their own.
Kids Room Storage Bins
Each gets their own set of plastic storage containers, decorated by their own hand. I help them accept ownership for the status of the supplies (is the glue dried out? Is there no more tape?) because they each have their own plastic storage containers; therefore, if the glue is dry or there are no more googly eyes in their packet, there's no one else to blame.
We try to keep several staples on hand and then experiment with a handful of other interesting supplies. Glue sticks, glitter tubes, acrylic paints and brushes, pipe cleaners, construction paper, scissors and markers are part of everyone's kit. Then they customize their remaining plastic storage containers with items which interest them like foam cut-outs, princess stickers, beads, etc.
With all that glue and glitter, I was concerned about our kitchen floor. Then I picked up a large drop cloth to protect the finish and give them some wiggle room for mistakes.
I keep a few plastic storage containers filled myself, only with different items. A hot glue gun and glue sticks, dried flowers and a grapevine wreath let me be creative and make something beautiful for the front door.
