One of the challenges I seem to run into with homeschooling is keeping track of all of our supplies.  Between markers and crayons, paints and pencils, glue and scissors, it can easily become a messy jumble without some sort of organizational system in place.

By the time baby number four entered the scene, I knew our need for multiple art supplies was growing exponentially.  I wanted to find a system that was both practical and inexpensive, so I finally settled on the multi-tub organizer pictured below (and above!).

This unit stores an incredible amount of school supplies.  With the open bin design, the kids can quickly grab the supplies they need without searching high and low for missing items.  Plus, since each bin houses one type of item, cleaning up our supplies is a snap.

The bins are also very convenient when we decide to complete a project upstairs as opposed to finishing it in our schoolroom.  The kids simply choose the tub (or tubs) of supplies they need, and bring it along for the project they are working on.  When they’re finished, it just goes right back on the shelf.

Simple organizational systems such as this are one of the main foundations for keeping our homeschooling year running smoothly.  We are blessed to have a very large space in our basement that is solely devoted to our schoolroom.  However, it is the principle of having “a home for every item” that really keeps us on track throughout the year.
