Before we list out all the great tips and crayon storage ideas, first things first- rules.

Crayon Storage Ideas Rule #1: Accessibility

If you want your kids to store their crayons correctly and neatly, then you need to ensure that whatever storage solution you have easy access to. Sure all those cute lathes and drawers look great but those are better reserved for an adult craft room.
