PLACES & SPACES FOR KIDS from Jo Rae Johnson on Vimeo.

By using these few simple tips, you can keep your kid’s spaces under control and eliminate the chaos of clutter!

Do you remember those huge, deep toy boxes with hinged lids?  Much like a large purse, everything drops to the bottom!  See what’s inside by using:

• OPEN BOXES /NO LIDS   – Try clear boxes (see everything inside)
• GROUP LIKE ITEMS IN BOXES  (LEGO’S IN ONE,  BALLS, BOOKS, DVD’S, ETC.)
• PURGE REGULARLY – SEPARATE ITEMS YOUR CHILDREN HAVE OUTGROWN OR NO LONGER PLAY WITH AND DONATE TO LESS FORTUNATE CHILDREN.
• TRASH BROKEN ITEMS
• SET OUT WEEK’S CLOTHING ON SUNDAY
• BUY ONE TYPE OF SOCK PER FAMILY MEMBER (PINK TOE FOR LAUREN/GOLD TOE FOR TIMOTHY) – DON’T PAIR UP – ALL WHITE GO IN ONE BIN – BLACK DRESS SOCKS ANOTHER
• UTILIZE ACTIVITY TOTES – TAKE IT WITH THEM TO DEN OR PLAY AREA
• SMALL COLLECTIBLES – (ROCK COLLECTIONS, MARBLES, ETC.) USE A TACKLE BOX
