School Supply Table Top Caddy

This is another thing I found on Pinterest and knew it was something I had to have in our school room. I like that it keeps all the important supplies within arms reach.

What you need:

1 Lazy Susan

4 or more tin buckets (check Target’s dollar spot)

Screws or Magnets to hold the tin buckets down.

And a drill or a handy man to help

 

My Lazy Susan that we bought was brown and would not go with our school room so first up I painted it with primer and white spray paint.

Once dry I place my tin buckets on to get an idea on how many would fit and placement so my husband could screw them on.

Once I had them where I wanted them my husband screwed them into place. (note: make sure your screws aren’t to long because they will go through all the way. Trust me.)

Once that is done add your supplies and give it a spin. Just not too hard as you don’t want crayons and markers everywhere!

Can’t wait to see what Dylan thinks of this being on our table and so easy for him to access the supplies he needs so easily.

Do you have one of these? If so share! I love seeing what others do to spiff things up!

Toolbox Makeover

I am sure those of you who are on Pinterest have seen these toolbox makeovers before. I saw them and knew it was something that would help me stay organized and keep the little things in places where I could find them. 

I headed to Lowes for a toolbox. This is what mine looked like before (sorry I didn't get a better before picture)

Grabbed a can of primer spray paint and white glossy paint as I wanted to to go well with our classroom.

When I got home I spray painted the base of the tool box with the primer and then once it was dry sprayed the white paint on it. 

While I was waiting on it to dry I had laid my drawers out in order to how they were in the box. This way I could lay out what papers I was going to use. You will need scrapbook paper or fabric of your choice to line the drawers. 

I traced the back part of the drawer on the paper and it fit perfectly on the inside. 

Then I mod podge them in. I suggest taping them though as it was a bit difficult and if I could go back that is what I would have done. 

Once the base is dry place the drawers inside. 

Then it is time to label the drawers. Which I haven't finished as I am not sure what all I am placing in there yet.

I used scrapbook stickers on the outside of the drawer for labeling. 

Have you made one of these? If so share a link in the comments. I would love to see it! 

Weekly Lesson Planner

I know it has been forever since I have shared any type of home school printable with y'all. Since I am working on planning for next year I wanted a nice new planner that matched and was pretty. So I made my own. I hope y'all like it! I made the Cover separate from the pages as I figured y'all would want to have the simplicity of printing the pages several times and not having to worry about the Cover.

I am going to start working on some new Tot Kits, too. I realized I have missed designing stuff for y'all!
