[@krissaclack]

You know your a mom when your so excited to see how you organize their art supplies! 😂🥰

[@aneeviguerasduarte9828]

I am finding this video extremely satisfying

[@ariellesomers990]

Ok so my system on what to keep. My son is in preschool and literally brings stuff home everyday. I hang it up on the fridge for a few days and then I have an Amazon box and I keep just the stuff that is sentimental (for Thanksgiving made a turkey that says thankful for and he wrote mommy 😍) And the things that impress you (that sounds bad but like the first paper my son wrote his name on completelyon his own). Definitely 1 thing from each "holiday" that they make for you. My mom still has the things I made for her when little on a box and we have sat down and gone thru them and the memories are beautiful.

[@KaylaBuell]

Awwwww I love that! Thank you for sharing! I feel like I’m gunna be such a hoarder because I’m super sentimental when it comes to the kids’ stuff! I’ll have to have a special box to put it all in!

[@Hasbi-Allah]

I take my daughter’s picture with her art of the day and say bye bye to the page after a while 💫

[@arelimichel2238]

For the arts and crafts that she has completed ask her if she really likes it she can take a picture with it. Print it out and put it into a craft photo book.

[@yelizpaculoglu]

Yessss waiting for today’s video while my baby girl sleeping😇 thank you mama

[@KaylaBuell]

Thank you!!! Hope your baby girl got some good rest!

[@007ButterflyEffect]

I can’t wait to buy some of these these for my daughter! I’ve been trying to get creative with her but haven’t really had ideas she could use that’s not too messy. So excited thank you 💜💛😆

[@libbygarcia6354]

I loved this video. Going to organize my kids art stuff today!! ❤

[@elise8116]

Super helpful to see your mess and your plans for organizing! I have the same mess, so glad you showed yours so I can get a practical idea, not just picture perfect. :)

[@nejv5028]

I love arts and crafts! Excited for my little girl to color and do such artsy stuff when she grows up a little more. Enjoy your channel

[@meravech]

great video so usefull!! 🙏😘our favorite is water wow and also crayola twistble crayons. i loved your organization you can find everything easily.

[@Nothingbutthevoid1]

Thanks for honesty and motivation !

[@KaylaBuell]

Anytime!!

[@dolphynlvr4]

This was very satisfying to watch 😍

[@kiyoshiusagi]

Totally looking forward to getting some sticker and coloring books for my girl now. These look awesome

[@DearYesi]

Love how you organized!! This is something I have to do too!! My girls have so many arts and crafts. You have motivated me to do this 🥰🤗

[@KaylaBuell]

Yaaaas! My life feels so much less cluttered now!

[@mombetweentwo7679]

Good job! I’m proud of you, because sometimes you just can’t get to it, same with toy clean up and then going through and sorting what they actually play with.

[@KaylaBuell]

Yesss! I just kept putting it off for the longest time so I’m glad I finally did it!

[@sarapnina]

I've been whatching your videos for quite sometime and love it. This was the only one i didnt bother to see until the end 😥 Great hair though!!! Keep loving the new style! 🥰

[@elsamccarthy7962]

I get stressed watching you trash things that are untouched. The poor kid in me is like I’ll use it!

[@jessmenegakis7163]

Definitely needed this motivation! My daughter’s art supplies are such a mess. Her faves are painting and stickers.

[@KaylaBuell]

Riley’s on such a sticker kick lately so we find them everywhere lol I had been dreading this for so long, so I’m glad I got to it!

[@beatricecabrera2253]

When the paint bottles fell out of the box 😭 lol

[@KaylaBuell]

Lol I was losing my mind over there 🤣

[@deannab8649]

I love the adult coloring books ! I wasn't able to do them for awhile . But with this anxiety med and getting my eyes fixed . Now I should be able to try them again soon ! Tomorrow is my final post op exam. My nieces got me more gel pens for Christmas !

[@sarabickel9996]

For a nice display, preschools often have a clothesline type arrangement that is very cute. After a week or so of artwork, maybe pick one to save and then take photos of the best. Saving everything gets difficult and isn't practical. She can send photos to grandparents and I bet she'd like that. She's getting old enough to enjoy sharing her work with family members 😊 I'm a big believer in arts and crafts too. Nice job organizing!

[@chnginglanes]

I have a storage box (nice one from TJ Max) that I put keepsakes as well as crafts in. I do throw away some of the random crafts and also give some others to her grandma so it’s not overwhelming. I like the idea of taking pictures of some too

[@andreanittel2240]

I have bought that Melissa and Doug sticker for my grandkids!!!!

[@ashliesmith6272]

Try a clear magazine holder for the top of the caddy to told the pages and coloring books!!

[@SydneysStory]

Girl if someone says they don’t have an area (or more!) in their house like this AND they have a toddler, they are lying!! 🤣🤣 Thanks for the inspiration today! It looks great! And know, you are such a great Mom! Riley will always look back and remember the special projects you did with her. ❤️

[@cort_26]

Joe in the background while you were talking about the scratchy things 🤣🤣

[@magicworld9360]

You already organize that cart a while back i would recommend not buy anything else in your next target run keep it it organized just use what she has first before buying more you will end with the same mess it would drive me crazy i feel like you do this without realizing then the mess builds up and is worst just keep it simple it looks great now you did a great job i agree getting another cart keep things out the floor it looks less crowded i also recommend getting those colors out there so your dining room looks more like an adult zone how about in the office in joes area just a thought or upstairs in guest room or garage outside where joe does exercise joes comment how your brain is a million things and clutter that was funny 😄 thats how moms are one million things to do and think i now virgos are very organized in their head my husband is the same way

[@Ambernsutton]

I saw the best idea for kids art the other day! Make an Instagram for them so you can add a picture of it and who/what/when. Then you can use a service like Chatbooks to have them printed into a little memory book. I only have a 10 month old but definitely on my to do list when he gets older!

[@ashliesmith6272]

I found mag holders at the dollar tree if you put them on top you can organize all the pages and books on top the but the bins where the pages and books were!

[@brittanybalser333]

Lol Joe in the background dancing 🤣

[@austinmerrifield9836]

My mom used to put out arts/crafts/cool homework into totes. 20+ years later we still each have a tote box full of our childhood memories in her storage LOL.

[@chrissypacheco9635]

"Like your brain" 😂😂😂😂 Too funny

[@a_shapely_potato]

My LO is only 6 months old so we don't have to worry about saving any crafts yet but my grandmother designated a large storage tote to each of us and she filled each with all of the crafts we did over the years. If it got too full to fit more, we'd go through together and pick what we'd want to keep.

[@aprilsummers9930]

I can’t wait until Krew starts to get into coloring and crafts. Right now he just tries to eat the crayons or markers. 😂 I love the cart idea. I’m in the same predicament that I don’t have a play room or anything.

[@NicoleLottLife]

Same lol. All my 1 year old wants to do is put EVERYTHING in her mouth. That is her preferred activity

[@user-bb3sg4no8o]

Use a magazine or folder box for coloring books and sticker books to have them stand up.

[@JennHernes]

Suggestion for the bins. You might want to have the educational stuff in that smaller bin, and move those target dollar spot painting sets into the larger bin with all the other paints. Less likely to accidentally get paint all over the nice educational stuff! And then all the painting stuff is in one bin instead of spread out over 2 Thanks for the lovely video :) I'm excited to start introducing my baby to arts and crafts!

[@kaylynbroussard4122]

Literally bought a bin just last week to store both of my girls art things and slide it under their beds! Haven't done it yet, but I will now! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[@williamhawthorne1375]

Well done,the importance of keeping on top of it ! Easier said than done sometimes but you did a good job 😂Lizzie

[@vanessaporter8423]

I love this video so much!!!! I’d love to see more like this!!🧡🧡 I often feel so drawn to Leo’s My man is a leo and I’m a Leo ascendant I wondered if you might be a Leo that’s so so awesome!!!😃

[@itsshwetas]

I know this video is 3 years old but I thought I'd post in case you do future declutters or someone else sees this! I've picked up (and offloaded) a lot of half-used colouring books from Facebook marketplace. It a really great (and free) option that allows another child who enjoys whatever theme book our children have outgrown (eg The Wiggles or Bluey)!

[@kellyhorvatin]

Okay girl, I see you with the new background music 👌

[@Vanessa-po5us]

Joe dancing in the background 😂

[@mrstaylorbelle]

Do you remember where you got your dining room mirrors? They are so gorgeous 😍 also you did a great job! Craft supplies get out of hand so fast... I have my own craft shed and it never is organized and I’m an adult lol 🥴

[@katherineviator2533]

I would try and get one of the plastic drawer organizers they might work better

[@fridagarcia5057]

I don’t really get why you guys have the nicer dining room, I’ve only seen you guys use it for it’s intended purpose for the holidays. A play room would be great there! You have a dining area next to the kitchen.

[@sibs9127]

My daughter is 22 months and I made her rainbow rice (white rice, food coloring, vinegar) and she has been playing with this for months!! Months. It’s amazing

[@KaylaBuell]

How funnnnnn!!! I think Jackson would love that! Thanks for the idea mama!

[@simonefavor1319]

My grandma has an accordion file organizer and she puts stuff that we all make in there. She doesn’t keep all the crafts and drawings but she keeps the things that she thinks are special.

[@thatsrosie1]

You should get a hole punch machine and some binders. That way you can hole punch her art or papers that are loose and pt them in a binder. You can teach her how to do it and she will learn how to organize her stuff too :)

[@ariellesomers990]

This could not have come at a better time! I cringe everytime I look at my son's art and crafts suppy and really need to organize it and keep saying I'm going to. I have the stuff to do it just not the motivation 🙈😄 Well snow storm is rolling in today and your video has given me the courage!!!

[@KaylaBuell]

Yayy!! I felt so better after having done it! So you got this mama! 🙌🏼💕

[@dancingjessica]

Lol. When you said. I have a frigging master's degree... I felt that for me too about most things related to my little guy. Hahaha

[@KaylaBuell]

Hahahahaha right?! Lol like I somehow passed calculus but I can’t get my child to stop wiggling on the changing table while I wipe his butt. Awesome. Lol 😂

[@cafedulce6545]

Kayla while you were talking and trying to fit the paint in the box you just lost it like Riley does sometimes lol she looked exactly like you at that exact moment 🤣

[@andreanittel2240]

my hubby is a Leo- very successful!!!!

[@savanahswafford9027]

Awe the best wife ever part😭

[@alyssareynolds2198]

I love the mess free colouring books! You can also buy the mess free plain drawing pages on Amazon!! That way she can use the markers to draw whatever she’d like 💖 They even have mess free stamps!

[@KaylaBuell]

Omg I had no idea!!!!! Thank you for sharing that!

[@annettemarquez8934]

The way I organize it for my two year old is in a three drawer sterilite unit that i store in his closet (walk-in closet). That's the only area where I can store educational material, stickers, paints, arts and crafts and all that good stuff. Allocating only that space to store everything and not allowing myself to buy more until that's used up did wonders for me. Also, downstairs I keep the flisat ikea table and use one side with a shallow bin to store some arts and crafts materials and just rotate it as I feel he starts to loose interest. The other side I use it as a sensory bin with corn kernels. If I were you I would only keep one of each category and rotate it or just a few things to use at a time. Just store everything else in the basement since you have the space. Kids don't do well with so many options, it's too complicated and they end up making an even bigger mess. Just a thought, it keeps this mamma sane and it looks much cleaner. On another note, I have seen companies that send you a box to throw all your kids drawings/painting or whatever else and they make you a book with the items. Not sure what it's called but I'm sure you can Google it.

[@amimerricks3656]

We put pictures that I want to keep in a scrapbook. They then don’t get too damaged. My mum did it for me and gave them to me with my baby bits when I moved out

[@simplymebykas]

My 3yo loves the Melissa & Doug reusable stickers too! Recently she's been into REALLY SIMPLE origami! The only problem is...she makes so may of the same thing at once!

[@KaylaBuell]

Omg I hadn’t even thought of origami! That’s great that she’s so crafty! I’m gunna have to look into that for Riley. And yea those stickers are bomb 🙌🏼

[@simplymebykas]

@@KaylaBuell Start with things like a simple boat and like a dog or cat face. But be warned, your house will be covered in these once she learns how to make them 🤣 Great for fine motor skills though!

[@vanessan2270]

Ooo couples q&a while you drink wine and do puzzles!! Lol

[@urmom-cw7vg]

Cool

[@carolzapatabooksandstuff4909]

😂😂😂 joe in the back

[@emilyw2790]

We have those same paints and legit have the same problem with them falling out everywhere and the box breaking 🙈😂

[@adelinatorres6846]

Super random question.... can you pleaseee link your babygate where riley was at watching you clean up all the arts supply!!

[@shaguftakhan4423]

I have a folder for my son where I keep his completed pieces of art and learning. I also display some of his finished pieces on the wall.

[@Jaxson12382]

I buy the big sketch pads and markers from target . And my 7,5 yr old can do it for hours. They arent really into coloring books.

[@andreanittel2240]

Joe is a virgo!!!! So is my daughter- a perfectionist!!!!!!

[@amyl3670]

A way to store their work would be a bin with hanging file folders labled one per each year of school or different years. Their art work, certificates and school pictures would be able to fit in there. A keepsake bin of work. I am wanting to make one for my son.

[@andreanittel2240]

I made scrapbooks of my kids art, school stuff, notes they wrote to me, etc...

[@thatsrosie1]

Also, try using rubber bands for the pencils and markers

[@lisatinsdale360]

Hi, can i ask if your daughter goes to nursery? Love your channel :) xx

[@andreanittel2240]

thanks for the tip about the Scratch Art- my virgo daughter would have a fit if there were black things all over the place!!!!!!

[@andreanittel2240]

you could always put some of those activities into the basement and change them out by the week..........

[@butterflytazzz]

I think u shud get like the amazon metal cubes or ikea cube organiser

[@isurujayaweera374]

Your hair cut is nice

[@cyn124]

Going to pro my 6 year olds craft area it’s all over my house right now

[@margerangel7272]

It looks amazing, I think it looked contained enough for a toddler before anyways. give yourself a break 😊

[@KaylaBuell]

Thanks! ☺️

[@thatsrosie1]

You should tear the pages out of the coloring books, hole punch them, and put them in a binder for her. That way you have 1 or 2 binders with her coloring pages

[@vanessan2270]

Instead of Where's Waldo we will play Spot Joe in your videos lol

[@marilynbrown2297]

I save a tub for each grandbabie and I put their things in there just a little Fyi

[@MariaandMontessori]

Nothing like some kid's paint to make you question your Master's 😂 I feel like I've done the same thing - "I have a Master's, come on this can't be that hard!" with SO many of my daughters things too! Did pregnancy take some of my brain cells, or do they make these things unnecessarily complicated on purpose? Or...perhaps it's the perpetual fatigue getting to us?

[@susalkasarahi]

You should challenge yourself to a purchase ban, obviously not for food or essentials but it would be interesting, even for a week.

[@myrellaespinosa555]

Don't worry I have a 3 year old and I understand lol what is that creole mess free thing that's something I would love for my daughter

[@KaylaBuell]

It’s really great! They’re little packs that come with coloring pages and markers but the markers only work on that special paper!

[@myrellaespinosa555]

Really yes I needn't get that for my daughter she loves to color and we enjoy watching you from brownsville tx never miss a video lol

[@stargwynn1]

Was literally just pinteresting ideas for organizing my kids toys and crafts

[@KaylaBuell]

Yayyy!!! Hope you can find a system that works for you!!

[@NicoleLottLife]

I wish I had some amazing advice lol. NOTHINGGGGG entertains my toddler. Nothing. Except maybe anything that involves danger or breaking something😒😩

[@julie102241]

You should save all the new art supplies in a plastic bin and just let out for them whatever its half way and pulling new stuff as they used up whatever they have out, just an idea

[@philippapay4352]

This seems like more stuff to organize ever more stuff that you acquire and it never returns to a manageable status without more tchotchkes to contain yet more tchotchkes. I am exhausted. It's like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch of plastics floating between California & Hawaii. Or I think it's called Joyxee Island in the Mexican Caribbean that is made of netted plastics trash. It cannot do your mental health or the children's temperaments any good to be so over-burdened.

[@chrissypacheco9635]

So that's how you spell that word. Just learned something 😂

[@andreanittel2240]

u r so funny trying to get the paint in the box.........

[@andreanittel2240]

you could staple her pics into a scrapbook- do they even exist any longer?

[@MeganSaidThis]

Girl, you got a master's degree to be in stay-at-home mom? I seriously don't mean that rude, it just makes me giggle. I have friends like that, too but I get that you know you want a back up plan. It's nice to have. I also have a friend she went to school to be a dietitian, and she didn't even do her internship so she can't even get a job as a dietitian if she wanted to she'd have to probably do her internship I don't know how that would work... but... I think she graduated got like a bachelor's degree but didn't ever do the internship she would need to get a job as a dietitian. I did too associate programs and a certificate program so three programs (I went to two separate community colleges, the local one and then and also online one so I mean it's a college but I didn't really go there I went online). After all the time and money I spent, I should have probably just gotten a bachelor's or Master's myself instead, to be honest. I just couldn't figure out my s***. Lol. So yeah I definitely can't judge I'm just kind of laughing you have a master's degree to stay home but like I said it would have made more sense for me to do that too anyways.
