Paper, paints, brushes, crayons, felt-tip markers and glue should be kept where?

• A. Kept in the teacher's desk drawer
• B. Kept in the supply closet across the room
• C. Kept on low shelves next to the art table
• D. Kept in a locked cabinet high on a shelf

Answer: (C)

Keep art materials at the children’s level and close to the art area. When paper, paints, brushes, crayons, felt-tip markers, and glue are stored on low shelves next to the art table, kids can reach what they need, use items independently, and return them when finished. This supports self-reliance, quick cleanup, and easy supervision for safety and organization. Storing supplies in a teacher’s desk drawer, a distant supply closet, or a high locked cabinet makes them hard to access, slows activities, and disrupts learning.
