CREATIVE HIGHLIGHT

STEP TWO :

Choose the Furniture .

This is going to be dependent upon the type of space you ’ re creating . An art studio will need different furniture than a builder ’ s workshop , but in general , a small table and chairs makes a great workspace for drawing , coloring , painting , etc . A desk might work as well , although sometimes they ’ re a bit narrow . You ’ ll also want to look for low shelving plus trays and bins for organization , and don ’ t forget a waste basket for easy clean-up . Check thrift stores and yard sales for amazing finds . The key is that everything should be within reach for your kiddo so that they can access the materials independently and know where to put them away . The Dollar Tree is a great place to find organizing supplies ! You don ’ t want it to be too organized and complicated or your kids won ’ t keep it up . Simple , basic bins , jars and cups will do .
