Back to School Days are almost around the corner and to help my kiddos stay on top of their school work and be ready for the new year I made this Back to School Homework Station.
I love the fact that you can put everything they need to do their homework on the side of the fridge.
The best part about this project is that my kids love it!
We do homework in the kitchen so I thought what better place to have a School Station than right here where the action happens.
My favorite part of the back to School Station is the calendar.
I love multifunction things, this calendar is not just a calendar…it is a magnet and white board as well.
I have a step by step tutorial for you over here. I thought to add to the station things that the kids use all the time.
The number one question in my house during school days is:
Where is a pencil?
Number two: Have you seen a sharpener?
I think for the first time I can say I know where everything is!
I went magnet and hot glue crazy.
My goal was to add to the station the basic things that my little savages use everyday during school.
A ruler, scissors, tape, glue, punch holders, erasers, sticky notes, and even a box full of crayons and colored pencils.
I used Washi Tape to give all the items a more personal look.
Here you have the crayon box on the fridge…
I even had space to add their back to school charts.
We loved them last year and we are ready to use them again as soon as school starts.
You can find the tutorial here.
So are you ready to get organized and make this new School Year smooth and clutter free?
Make your own station, have fun with the colors you choose.
Make it a place that your kids would love and that you would appreciate.

This space is absolutely brilliant. I’ve got my first kid heading off to school soon. I just loved how this creates so much organization and accountability. Great work!
Desiree! I love love love this…I cannot wait to make one for my boys! Where did you get a piece of vinyl cut to size like that? Did you use a cricut or silhouette or did you order it already cut?
Thanks so much

What a great idea! We are only coming up on year two of preschool but I could see easily adapting the charts for my little gal. And I love that you personalized it so it’s not just a blah organization system on the wall but filled with color and fun. No wonder your kids love it!
What a clever idea–a Back to School station! Love it! Thanks for hosting the party!!! Have a fabulous weekend!

What a great project, I love it! I’m pretty much obsessed with the washi tape you used. I live in a very small town and do not have anything close that would carry that. I have been looking online like a crazy lady but haven’t had any luck finding something similar. Is there any way you could let me know the name or brand of it? I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
I just posted yesterday on my Facebook a picture of the tape. You can visit there and see what you are going to be looking for. I hope this helps!
We have two weeks of summer left and I’ve started the back to school business already! I’ll be checking this post for sure to make sure I have everything.
Your back to school station is amazing!!! Super creative, you did a wonderful job 🙂 I love organizing projects!!!
Yvonne, Thank YOU so much!
How perfect is that! Got to love organization especially during the school year. Thank you for hosting this wonderful linky party.
OMG, I can’t believe that back to school time is approaching so quickly. Thanks for hosting another super fun link up party.
