Stop Tripping Over Toys: Ideas for Organizing the Playroom
Organization for the kids' playroom is a necessity. After your children have happily and creatively run amok, is there storage for everything? Or does the play area always resemble the aftermath of a tornado?
One of life's first great lessons is to put away your toys when you're done playing, but in order to teach your children that, their things have to all belong somewhere. Even if your children's playroom is just their bedroom, we've found some great tips for organization.Parenting website She Knows points out if toys aren't organized, children spend 80% of their time playing with 20% of their toys. The key is to plan storage around easy access and visibility. Soft plastic bins that fit on low shelves are far superior to a toy box, which gets emptied in order for a child to find one item. Label the containers, and if your children are too young to read, use pictures along with the words. It's also best to use transparent containers so your kids can see the toys inside.
