We love to work with wood at our preschool and our friend, Grandpa Brian, has made it so easy for us to store and display our wood work pieces with this great storage tub holder. We love it! We want another one for our box construction materials too!
We like to work with a variety of materials with our wood. Most of our supplies come from “Reverse Art Truck”. Gee, we love that place… a real treasure trove!
Another great find is “Ultra Glue” which we get from a local school supplier called Marbry. It is brilliant for the kids to use with wood as it holds almost anything in place. It tends to dry out very quickly so we just put out small pots which we constantly refill. It is also not ‘brush’ friendly and is best used with small plastic spatulas or icy-pole sticks. Cleaning out containers can be tough too. Best method is to let them dry out, and then the glue just peels away.
A house under construction…
… then painted!
And of course we use hammers and nails with our wood too!
A person and a Xylophone! Great work!

I think your bins your grandpa made are so awesome. I wish I had some of them. What a creative idea. I so much enjoy visiting your pages often. Your ideas are wonderful!
Thanks! I wanted the bins to be angled like that so that the children could see into them from wherever they were working… for the inspiration… making the connection between what they have before them, and what could possibly be, by a direct view into the tubs.
