Organizing Essentials for Every Child's Room
© Professional Organizer Lea Schneider
If you'd like your child to be more organized, help them out by making sure that they have the essentials for getting organized. Here is my "Great Solutions: A Child's Room Checklist" from my book "Growing-Up Organized: A Mom-to-Mom Guide." (Amazon.com,$14)
Shelves for books
Bins of different sizes for different sized toys
Shelves for board games
Low rod in closet for young children
Shoe holder for shoes
Labels on drawers- uses pictures for non-readers
Lots of coat hooks for jackets, robes, sports equipment, book bags and costumes for playing dress-up
Bulletin boards- bigger the better! Two or three in a tight row is great unless you love having them tape or tack to the wall!
File crate or small file cabinet for storing school papers
Hamper or hanging mesh laundry bag or laundry basket
You'll find lots more hints, tips and advice in the book.
