Kitchen Table Vs. Art Desk

We have a dedicated art space in our basement, but it is an absolute mess. We had a flood MONTHS ago, and I still haven’t gotten around to cleaning up all the stuff I was trying to save . . . it’s all piled up on top of the desks, tables, and shelves. What a mess! We can get to some of the supplies, but we can’t use any of the flat surfaces down there (unless the floor counts!).

So, the kids have turned my kitchen table into an art desk today. There’s bins filled with Popsicle sticks, crayons, glitter glue, colored pencils, funny shaped erasers, construction paper, and other various supplies covering the entire surface they’re not using as their “personal art areas.” I love how they’ve improvised, and found a way to make the creative moments they crave work!
