Bin It

For art supplies, straightforward Lucite or other plastic containers provide easy storage and sensible consolidation (no more forcing crayons back into a disintegrating cardboard box to make a matched set). Kids can easily see what each one holds, and they can find the right shade of green with a glance and put what they've taken out back when they're done. The boxes also show off the bright colors of pens and paints―and keep them from being scattered everywhere when not in use.

Acrylic boxes: $30 each, fantes.com.
