We've moved. Please click here to view our new blog.
Aside from Playmobil this is where my girls spend the most of their time. We get quite a few questions as to what is in our art area. Here is an inside view. Also, a lot of this stuff comes with a lot in one pack. You can easily cost share with friends and family. If you click on the pictures there is a direct link to where I purchased everything.

This is so amazing!!! Makes me want to get rid of my spare bedroom and just do this for my girls!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Very inspiring for me to clean up the mess and get organized in our art area!
ReplyDeleteWow, is that ever amazing! My husband is making an art trolly for the kids for Christmas and I thought I was going to have trouble filling it. Ha ha... you have me beat! Thanks for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteThis is funny and TOTALLY off topic, but my name is Wendy and my birthday is the same day you, also a Wendy, posted this comment, Dec. 9th. XD
DeleteWhere do you buy your art supplies?
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing amount of resources available to your girls! I only hope to some day have a space like this.
ReplyDelete@Morgan... you can click on each picture and it's a direct link to where I bought them.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the main containers used on the shelf? They look like they are re-purposed but I can't remember where I have seen them. Lovely art space!
ReplyDeleteI'm just starting to acquire our supplies. wish I has all of what you have. You have the best supplies.

Hi PAHM! I am wondering if I could email with one of you. I've been following your blog for a few months now but could really use some direction. I realize that it is a change in thinking - more for the adult than the child :) I don't want to just "copy" activities from you all, because that's not what it's about. I've been working on slowly putting together an environment (we just moved to a house from an apartment so we have a dedicated playroom! Yay! Anyway. Please email me if you can: michelle(dot)cohoon(at)gmail. I have a 19 month old. Specifically I'm struggling with allowing her free-range with guidance vs hovering. I'm not much of a hoverer in general anyway...but, for example, what do I do when she throws the jar of buttons everywhere?! Or when she just makes a mess of all the things set out on the shelves? And also any resources to help with the mental transition for myself. Thanks. (If it's not too much trouble. I realize you have thousands of followers and your own littles.)
ReplyDeleteMichelle - Our email is Playathomemom3@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWould I be able to use two of your play based learning pictures for my Education project (I am a Senior) if I credit the source?
ReplyDelete@Tashcra0 which ones? Please email us. playathomemom3@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteDeb, I had a ton of stuff from scrapbooking/general crafting too, and I went ahead and dedicated a room to an art room, and put them all out in clear containers. He's 20 months old. LOVES IT. Not a big deal at all, but I do keep the container with more hazardous stuff up on the top shelf a bit out of reach still. (the craft hammer for hammering nails/screws-which he LOVES, and his kid-friendly scissors, are both in the out-of-reach zone, as are the paints).
ReplyDeleteHi, I love your site! Where did you find your containers or are the just repurposed? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe big containers on the bottom are from Dollar Tree and the little glass jars on the top are repurposed food jars.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this visual! It is so inspiring. I read about it last night, and I've started reorganizing our house today.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! Do you just let them "go at it" anytime/anyday or do you regulate how often and what supplies they are able to use?
