Kid’s art supplies are taking over every surface—how do you keep the chaos in check?

Lately, my 7-year-old has gotten super into drawing and crafting, which is awesome, but the problem is the mess. Markers, glue sticks, scraps of paper, and half-finished projects are everywhere - in the living room, kitchen table, and even on the couch. I’ve tried setting up a dedicated art box and even a small shelf, but it quickly overflows and spills out. We don’t have a ton of extra room for a craft corner either. I want to encourage creativity without constantly feeling like I’m living in a craft store explosion. I’ve considered rotating supplies or having a daily 10-minute clean-up routine, but it’s hard to stay consistent when everyone’s busy. How do you keep your kids’ art supplies organized and contained without killing their creative vibe? Any clever storage hacks or routines that actually stick?
