I need better organizing/arrangement solutions for the variety of art/drawing/construction/painting paper in all sorts of colors and variations on "rectangle" what I'm doing just isn't working.

I use a small drawer bin system. I think I got it at Walmart. Each drawer is two colors

I use the plastic drawers also, but my colors are mixed up I just grab a stack and let them pick from the stack.

I use this:
It works great but does take up quite a bit of space. It's made of cardboard, but it is very sturdy.

Oh, I love your wooden one, BC! I would have preferred that but had a spending cap
. Maybe in the future I can upgrade!

I have several storage methods:
drawing paper is in a basket on a low shelf where kids can reach it
large watercolor paper and fingerpaint paper are stored in a closed cabinet for me to get as needed
easel paper on a tube stands in the corner
all variations of colored paper: construction, wallpaper, scrap gift wrap, etc, etc, etc. are in magazine storage boxes sorted by color. (wooden, from IKEA)

I had a file drawer in a filing cabinet and used a hanging file folder for each color of construction paper. Any paper that was the size of construction paper had its own file including newsprint drawing paper, etc. Mine was a two drawer wooden file cabinet and I also kept my daycare files and any daycare worksheets in it. Very frugal since I already had the cabinet.
