Kids Playroom Ideas

Love these Land of Nod storage tubs for sorting kids toys!

Wall planters re-purposed for kids playroom or bedroom storage. What a great idea!

Beat-up board book + chalkboard paint = Portable Mini-chalkboard

Kids' Paper Scroll - If your children are budding artists, they probably enjoy pursuing projects independently. Encourage your children's creative aspirations by providing them with small, portable worktables of their own. Equip the tables with conveniently mounted rolls of paper, and no matter where they are, your kids can portray their surroundings.

Animal Trunk - Make this charming animal trunk -- the perfect accessory for any kid's room.

Wonder Wall - Bedroom walls look great decorated with bright pictures and maps, but when you hang them with magnet boards, foldout canvas panels, and unbreakable mirrors, the walls become part of the fun.

Drawing Paper Table - A giant paper scroll provides an ideal surface on which to paint, draw with markers and crayons, or simply make a mess.

Felt Board - A felt board can be both a pretty addition to a child's room and an educational tool. Using felt for both the face of the board and the shapes that adhere to it, you can create an alphabet (use stencils or cookie cutters to trace out shapes) or make simple games like tic-tac-toe.

Shower-Curtain Liner as Tablecloth - Protect your tablecloth (or antique wood table) from paint, crayons, markers, and glitter during arts and crafts. The result: More masterpieces, fewer disaster-pieces.

Photos as Memory Game - Give a good ol’ game of memory a personal touch. Print doubles of your favorite photos, turn them upside down, and start flipping. It's twice the fun for you and your child. (And, hey, this mental exercise may prove handy when it’s time to find the keys.)

Garlic Press as Modeling Dough Tool - Make Play-Doh "hair" by filling the chamber and squeezing.

Cupcake Liner as Decorative Snowflakes - Create a winter wonderland in the entryway. Flatten white paper liners (foil ones will work, too), fold into halves or quarters, then snip out shapes along the folds. When you open them back up, voilà: snowflakes you can string from the ceiling.

Book as Word Scramble - For the kids' table: Cut out 30 or so words from old children's books (the fonts are larger) and challenge them to form sentences with the pieces.

Electrical Tape as Chair Decorator - Liven up a child’s chair with colorful stripes. (Use lead-free or plastic tape.)

Egg Carton as Paint Palette - Create a custom paint palette for an afternoon art session.

Dish Rack as Art Supply Organizer - Organize coloring books in the main basket and corral crayons, pencils, and markers in the silverware holder.
