When summer vacation arrives and creativity knows no bounds, keeping art supplies organized while encouraging hands-on learning can feel like an impossible task. That's where our Art Caddies become your summer survival tool. With their durable construction, multiple compartments, and portable design, these versatile organizers transform chaotic craft time into structured creative adventures that kids can manage independently.
Here are five creative ways to use art caddies around your home this season:
1. Craft Station on the Go
Fill a caddy with craft staples—crayons, markers, glue sticks, scissors—and let kids bring it to the kitchen table, backyard picnic blanket, or wherever inspiration strikes. No more digging through drawers to find what they need!
2. Outdoor Art Adventures
Designate a caddy just for washable paints, chalk, and brushes. Kids can grab it before heading outside for sidewalk art, nature painting, or garden journaling. It keeps the mess out of the house and the creativity flowing.
3. Quiet Time Kits
Create grab-and-go bins filled with puzzles, coloring books, sticker pads, or quiet toys. Keep a few caddies prepped and rotate them throughout the week for calm playtime or screen-free breaks.
4. Parent Command Center
You're juggling a lot too—use a caddy to keep your own essentials (notebooks, pens, chargers, sticky notes) in one place. Whether you're supervising play or sneaking in some work, it's your portable productivity station.
5. Game Time & Rewards Organizer
Fill a caddy with card games, dice, rewards, or tokens for chore charts. It’s a fun way to keep summer structure light, while still encouraging responsibility and celebrating wins.
From art time to downtime, caddies are a simple solution to help keep your home organized and your kids creatively engaged. Available in five sizes to fit every need, our Art Caddy Collection brings smart storage and summer fun together in one easy-to-carry package. Explore the full collection here.
