Tot school organization

I finally organized my tot school bins!   I have five bins total.  Two of them are put away because one contains seasonal items and the other contains activities for when A is older.  Here is how I organized the three that are always within reach:

I organized all of the little manipulatives into baggies and placed them into a bin I labeled, "materials"

I used another bin to hold my containers.

The final bin was used for my ready-made activities.

Here is my lovely shelf that hold all of our tot school bins as well as our art/craft materials.  It's in the garage and I love having these things organized and at my fingertips!

The bins I use can be found here.

Art shelf

About a week or so ago, I decided to try and keep art supplies out for A so she could use them whenever she chose to.  I made sure to have a piece of paper taped down (with painter's tape) to her small table as well as one on the easel.  She's been doing a great job!

The containers are just mini-cans of veggies covered with scrapbook paper.  I had the white base from a candle display.  We've had a lot more masterpieces around here lately, and I no longer have to get markers or crayons out when A feels like using them.
