This has been a problem for me too, especially in the past, but now I think we're at a good place.
I definitely buy the pencil boxes, crayon boxes, other kinds of small boxes that seal up well for storing crayons, markers, pencils when those are on sale in the fall. Those all go in a drawer, well the kids have pencil boxes in their desks too. They now keep their scissors in their desks.
I found a small plastic drawer set that is perfect, one drawer is stickers, one is glue (I have glue sticks and bottles of glue, various types), one is paint brushes, one is stamps and things like that. Each drawer is probably 1 inch deep, 5-6 inches wide, maybe 12 inches long. That sits on top of the small dresser, and any small pieces of things I put inside plastic containers too that all fit inside the dresser. The bottom drawer is paper, other drawers again have the crayon/marker boxes, small containers with all the various things I've collected.... glitter, sequins, beads, etc etc.
