Organizing Your Kids' Rooms
One of the biggest
battles in any home is getting the kids to clean their rooms. If you
build in success, by providing them the tools, it’ll make it easier
on everyone.
When selecting the storage for your child’s room, be sure that it’s
something that the child can use. There are tons of options, from
plastic storage bins, the fold up cardboard under-bed boxes and
drawers and build-it-yourself furniture, and don’t forget garage
sales. Take your child with you when getting new storage, to make
sure it will be user friendly.
Younger children have trouble opening heavy dresser drawers, so
consider using cardboard box storage, or open stacking baskets. Use
the dressers for out of season clothes until they are older. Put
stickers on the drawers to show what goes in each one, so they can
start learning to put away their own clothes. You can find a wide
variety of stickers in scrap booking supplies.
Clear plastic bins are great for toys. The lids are usually easy to
work and the children can see what’s in the box. It’s also fun to
label the storage with bright pictures of what goes in each box.
Stuffed animals can multiply like rabbits, but storing them on a
Velcro covered pole is fun and helps decorate the room. A large
decorative laundry basket can make good storage for the stuffed
animals as well.
By sorting the toys into groups, and storing some in either the
basement or garage, you can limit the amount of toys in their rooms
at one time. Rotate which toys they have once a month or so, helping
limit boredom with the toys. This is also a good time to sort out
the things the kids no longer play with or have gotten too old for,
and either pass things on or have a garage sale.
