Olivia is entering first grade this year, and that means both kiddos will have homework every night. The last thing I want to do is scramble to find school supplies while the kids grumble about homework and I try to figure out what the heck to make for dinner. Since we don’t have a dedicated homework space in our house, this easy homework helper caddy is perfect for keeping things organized.

Make homework time a little easier with this simple to make homework caddy

Having this tote with pencils, markers, erasers, scissors and more that I can set on the kitchen table for the kids helps a lot. Plus it means they’re not carrying their pencil boxes to and from school everyday. It’s so simple to put this together… stop by your local dollar store and grab one of these inexpensive shower totes. I got these cups on clearance for 50-cents a piece and use them to hold pencils, markers and colored pencils. The smallest spot is perfect for holding erasers. Tuck in a couple of highlighters, a box of crayons, kid scissors and gluesticks. You can make this suit your family however you like by adding other things like a ruler, tape, Sharpies, etc.

I hope you give this homework caddy a try! What tips do you have for making back to school – and homework especially – easier?

How to Assemble a Homework Helper Supply Caddy

Here are some of the products I used in making this homework helper supply caddy:

This is ideal for my elementary age children, but you can add anything else you think might be helpful, too. As the kids get older, homework gets a little more difficult, so you might like to add in a ruler, protractor, note cards, calculator, etc.

I’ve read that those are the best pencils, but I can’t find them anywhere local! What a cute idea to keep all the supplies in one place. Thanks for the giveaway too!

  I think they last longer than other brands! I have been able to find them on Amazon and at Staples.

My 8 year old needs this instead of the (creative) disaster that is her desk! Visiting from Creativity Unleashed.
