Nothing makes our hearts flutter like seeing our kiddos sink their teeth into a new project. But sometimes the paints, feathers, pom poms and tubes of glitter can be a little overwhelming without some proper wrangling. So we rounded up a handful of kid-friendly spaces that intrigue, inspire and — most importantly — help our littler makers’ creativity blossom.

White walls don’t look plain when lined with shelves and colorful knick-knacks, like in this cheery creation station. Plus, displaying your kid’s favorite toys is sure to keep her engaged and inspired.
