I have no system.
Just lots of clear shoe boxes with sharpie writing on the outside indicating what's inside. I have an under-the-bed storage container(with the cover) on 1 shelf, filled with paints, sand, painting tools, etc.
Must-haves?
Markers, colored pencils, crayons, bingo dotters,
glitter, sequins, gems,
glueglueglue( I have come to love Alene's instead of Elmers and hate glue sticks)
craft sticks of all sizes, pompoms, cotton balls
scissors galore including the fancy cutting ones
Chenille stems, googly eyes, pasta and rice
Construction paper, tissue paper, old mags., cardstock, glossy paper, wrapping paper, old puzzle pieces
Stamp pads and stampers/rollers
anything in the world you can think of to paint with 
anything in the world you can think of to collage with
spray sealant because I use that to cover painted clay pots, etc.
shaving cream, chalk
that's all I can think of without getting up and looking
But the #1 item I have is recycled t-shirts for paint shirts.
These aren't used all the time of course but I have it all stacked on my shelves, lower to higher, and whatever they're in the mood for is what comes out.
Thank you for that awesome list! I need to work on my art stash for sure!
