If you look in the backseat of my car, you will see markers… everywhere. Green crayola markers on the floor. Brown crayola markers in the cup holder with the cap off. A red Crayola marker under the seat gradually bleeding it’s way into the carpet.
My daughter is an artist. She is five and has already determined her direction in life – creating art… lots of it! Anywhere and at any time.
She loves making crafts, experimenting and creating. When we got our first Kiwi Crate, she immediately dove in. Building carnival games and testing methods of ball trajectory. Kiwi Crate also had the added bonus of having the materials for every projected contained in one small kit.
If you haven’t tried Kiwi Crate before, you definitely need to check it out.
As moms. anything we find that is portable, easy and educational, we latch onto to! Yes?
But we also need ways to contain the chaos for all the supplies our kids need to follow their dreams.
Thus, I made a kid’s travel art kit that fits in my purse and won’t leave markers all over my car. Here’s how I did it.
This is seriously an ingenious idea!
Thanks! It was pretty easy to do – except for cutting the circle out of the DVD case. I seriously had to remind myself that I have a Masters and that I am smarter than the DVD case.
This is the coolest idea! Easy to make and I can tell my kids will both love one. I have some really cute fabric I can use too! Stopping by from #Sitssharefest – I hope you have a great weekend! Excited to be your newest follower 🙂
Thanks Heather! Love those Ice Cream Cone Cupcake as well 🙂
This is so great! I love how portable it is. Thank you for sharing!
My daughter packs this art kit with her wherever we go 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
I think this is what I look forward to when I have kids…. DIY fun stuff making 🙂 This is a fab idea and I just love the little paper notepad in the art kit. 🙂
Thanks!! The little paper notepad is just paper I cut myself. Super easy stuff!
Brilliant idea. I featured your post with link on my blog today. Best of luck to you!

Thanks Debra!
to make cutting through the plastic easier try heating your knife in a flame it then glides through, you have to reheat several times and it makes a mess of your blade but these are easily replaced. I have a blade just for heating and cutting plastic.
That is a great tip!! Thank you! That plastic was impossible to cut through!
