Organizing the Kid’s Rooms and Keeping it Fun
By Lara | March 31, 2008
Every Mom on the planet understands all too well the huge challenge it is to keep the children’s rooms clean and organized…toys, books, clothes, unknown substances…oh my!! However, there is good news! There are ways to get the kid’s rooms organized and have a bit of fun at the same time.
Storage units and organizers are your friend! Today, you can find MANY different patterns and looks for your storage needs. There are under-the-bed boxes and drawers, bins and wickers, wall or door hanging storage untis, and even closet organizers. You can mix and match. Get your kid involved by letting them choose the colors and styles for their storage supplies…within YOUR budget, of course!
Once you get your storage supplies, talk to your children about how they would like the room to look. Let them be involved in the organizingof their room. This will give them a sense of accomplishment when they are done and may even help them KEEP it organized…ROFL!
Getting the laundry organized can even be fun. If you have a boy, you may want to consider setting up a basketball hoop above their open dirty clothes basket. By attaching one to the wall above the hamper, clean up turns into a game for them. If you have a girl, you may want to buy a pretty princess laundry basket…or make one together. Be creative and get them involved. THAT is the key!
Use as much as you can in as many ways as you can think of. Some chairs and benches have a cushion attached to a lid that when lifted up can store stuff. This is ideal for stuffed animals, dress up, baby dolls, trucks, etc. It also gives your child a nice place to sit.
Once you get your child’s room organized, find creative ways to help him or her keep it organized. Keep it fun. Keep them involved. Keep them accountable. And, be sure and REWARD them for their efforts!
