An over the door shoe organizer can be really handy for keeping crafts organized, especially if you have a somewhat discreet yet handy place for it. Ours is near the front door. It may seem as though that&#8217;s too visible, but with the layout of our house, it really isn&#8217;t. It hangs on hooks in the wall rather than the over the door hooks. It&#8217;s right where the kids play with toys and do the less messy crafts.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you have a drop cloth or some other way to keep the kids from destroying your flooring if they&#8217;re working with clay, paints or anything else that might be bad for your floor. You can even have them set up outside some days.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homewiththekids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/30dayscrafts.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4309\" alt=\"Crafts - Day 7 of 30 Days of Keeping Kids Busy During the Summer\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homewiththekids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/30dayscrafts.png\" width=\"450\" height=\"1459\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My kids love to do all sorts of crafts.
