  • The Yarn Holder knitting jar is perfect for a smaller selection of craft items. It was a perfect storage container for my 3 year old who doesn’t need as large of a selection of craft items and she tends to dump everything out anyway.
  • The Designer Storage tote with the pink handles is the queen of the organization storage containers. The lift out tray with divided compartments provided a lot of room to put beads, googly eyes, pom pom balls, etc. The pull out tray also has its own lid so the items inside when spill out when the tray is being moved around. Plus my 8 year old daughter thought it was the coolest because it has a mirror in the lid.
  • The Universal Craft Tote was a great medium size. It also has a lift out tray with divided compartments that were perfect to divide up smaller kids arts and crafts items. It also had plenty of room in the bottom to fit the entire selection of items we divided up. If you are thinking about a tool box style tote I would recommend this one!
  • The Stackable Organizer does not have a tray so everything just lays inside. The bonus of this style organizer is that it provides a nice flat surface that can be used as a board to draw on or craft on top of while you are in the car. It’s a great hard, flat surface and everything still fit inside. We did put the smaller kids arts and crafts items into zipper baggies.

supplies for art jar, art jar contents, Craft jarThe most time consuming part of creating the art jar is dividing everything up fairly. And they were keeping track of what I was doing!

kids-arts-and-crafts-boxThis is what the contents look like when sorted into the art boxes. As I said above the Yarn Holder does not hold all of the same supplies everyone else had. But it is great for younger children who need less craft supplies.

My kids can hardly wait for our upcoming trip when they get to play with all this fun crafty goodness. Who knows what they will create, but it should keep them from yelling “I’m bored!” from the back seat. I’m so glad I put together these kids arts and crafts boxes!

    This has little to do with your post, but I’ve been looking everywhere (online, that is) for a picture of the inside of the Darice Designer tote. Your photo was just the thing I needed. Thank you, and hope your 4 (wow!) kids continue to have fun crafting!
