It’s Back to School time for many of you. Which means homework battles for most of you. I thought I’d share my portable homework station again to help ease the pain. This worked like a charm last year and I fully intend on using it again this year.
Study Area
My son can pick up this portable homework station, making anywhere his study area. He takes it where ever his 13 yr old body wants to flop down and tackle his homework. It’s great for on the go too.
I’ve packed it with everything and anything I think he may need. This cuts down on the questions that contribute to stalling.
Homework Caddy
Using a crafters canvas caddy from my friend Will’s bag company it gave me plenty of room(4 sides) to stuff this baby without taking up a ton of space in my home. This easily fits in my office closet when not in use. It also matches my sons bedroom……..and we all know how important that is.
Side 1: Pencils, pens of all colors, colored pencils, scissors, compass, protractor, ruler.
Side 2: Stapler, tape, colored markers, calculator.
Side 3: Pencil sharpner, glue stick, glue, erasers.
Side 4: Snacks
Inside: Paper, composite books, notebooks, graph paper
Have you entered to win the Silhouette Cameo I’m giving away? Head on over. If you don’t win, I’ve also got a discount code for you.

Love the idea but where do you get the bag?
The bag is from my friends bag company, Blue Fig. I have it linked in the post.
Never mind..link is working now…off to shop!
great idea. so smart!
This is a great idea! We’d love to feature it on CraftFoxes.com as a how-to or project. Interested? Feel free to email me at bethany@craftfoxes.com for more info.
I love that you used a crafter’s caddy. I have one collecting dust (along with all of my craft supplies). I already made a nice basket to keep on our table filled with homework supplies, but the caddy would be perfect for the car. DOH. Why didn’t I think of that before!
Thanks for linking up this week Kim! I’ve featured your post in my wrap up! http://tidymom.net/2012/12-creative-ideas/ Have a great rest of the weekend!
As a teacher, I cannot applaud you enough for taking the time and spending some money to make this happen. NO MORE EXCUSES!!! I love it!!
…but what’s the DIY on it, when you’ve bought it?
Ly, Very true, I did buy the tote…..actually my friend gave it to me…….But I created a homework station with it, filling it with items my son would need. And I “did it myself”.
DIY (do it yourself) does not always mean you make everything from scratch…….at least it doesn’t to me. I hope you were able to pick up some good ideas and be inspired to create and do something yourself.
Very cool!
Love the idea! I’m trying to come up with an idea similar for my kindergartener. Any suggestions?
I would just fill it with items that inspire them to create.
