One of the classroom crafts I have had my eye on for a couple of years is the Sterilite crayon drawers! This is the set that inspired my project!
I have used small baskets, cups, & buckets. They all have fallen short in the past. This year I am going to try using a drawer system for extra crayons that are misplaced from each table or center.
The picture below is the set I just made, so easy & quick! I have seen the fully covered drawers but I choose to leave them pretty much clear so I can keep an eye on how full each drawer is! I also choose to combine colors (that are extreme opposites for easy sorting/picking) so I can save space!
I purchased this mini 5 drawer organizer from Walmart, I printed the labels out on cardstock, cut them out, & used Modge Podge on the backs of the lables & attached them to the front of the drawers! I just used a paper towel to wipe off any excess Modge Podge that was on the plastic.
Just click the picture of the drawers to go directly to my TPT store & download the freebie!

These drawers were a total lifesaver this past school year! I don't think a single student asked me for crayon or told me that they found one on the floor! They held up very well & I will be using this system for many years to come!
