Organizing a child’s closet can feel like a never-ending task. With kids growing so quickly, it’s tough to keep up with outgrown clothes and toys. The solution? Involve your child in the organizing process. This not only makes them more responsible for their belongings but also teaches them valuable life skills. Plus, when kids help organize, they're more likely to keep things tidy.
1. Start with a Seasonal Clothing Purge
Kids grow fast, so tackle this at the beginning of each season. Donate outgrown clothes to friends, family, or a local charity. Discard items that are stained, torn, or beyond repair.
2. Create Accessible Storage
Place bins and shelving at your child’s level to give them the independence to grab their toys and put them away on their own. freedomRail® is the only truly adjustable storage system available on the market that can grow as their child grows. It offers the flexibility and ease to change components to fit your client's active lifestyle.
3. Avoid Lidded Containers
Lids can be a barrier for kids, making it harder for them to access or put away toys. Open bins encourage easier clean-up.
4. Organize by Color
Use colorful hangers to make organizing fun and easy. Assign colors to different clothing types—red for shirts, blue for pants, pink for dresses, and yellow for jackets. This method is both engaging and straightforward for kids to follow.
5. Choose Adjustable Storage Solutions
Opt for a flexible system like freedomRail that can adapt as your child grows. Start with triple hang space for a toddler, and adjust to double hang as they get older—all without tools.
6. Label Everything
Make finding and storing items a breeze by labeling bins. Get creative by adding pictures to the labels, making it easy even for the youngest kids to understand.
