How to Store Craft Supplies in the Classroom
I like to have all of my craft supplies in one place, and I really like the use of open-top containers. Amazon has some really cool storage options for craft supplies in the classroom, including this Craft tower storage bin.
Another practical option that’s a little smaller is this open-top cubby shelf.
And if you like your craft storage to be mobile, this craft cart is sturdy enough for daily use and has a lot of storage options for all sorts of craft supplies!
How to Make an Egg Carton Craft
One of my favorite ways to use egg cartons is to create 3D egg carton crafts.
Two egg cups glued together can become an animal or almost anything else you can imagine!
And the best thing about egg cartons is that they are made of recycled materials, so they are better for the environment than some craft projects and supplies.
When making egg carton crafts, use the paper egg cartons rather than foam egg cartons as they will be easier to decorate and glue.
