When it comes to organization ideas, clearly labeled storage bins make it easier for kids to practice helping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When kids are putting away things in labeled bins, they don\u2019t have to figure out where items go each time. Which gives you a break from an endless refrain of \u201cmom, where does this go?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some more benefits of organizing with labeled bins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Toys are \u201cout of sight, out of mind\u201d which removes distractions during distance learning hours or quiet time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Storing extra toys \u201cout of sight, out of mind\u201d helps kids fully enjoy their toys one at a time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limited space makes it easier to stick to the \u201cone in, one out\u201d rule<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When there\u2019s no space in the bins, you know it\u2019s time to purge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-must-do-toy-organization-ideas-get-really-specific-if-you-need-to\">2) Must-do toy organization ideas: get really specific if you need to<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most times you can get away with organizing toys by broad categories like \u201cdolls &amp; stuffed animals,\u201d \u201cboard games\u201d etc. However, there are some toys parents know are just beasts to organize. For example, Lego\u00ae and other building block toys or model kits of any kind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention, sometimes your kids also have a very specific interest or hobby that might need to be broken down into several containers. For example, a budding artist might have a bin just for painting supplies and one just for coloring supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Don\u2019t<\/em><\/strong><em> feel pressured to cram everything into big storage containers. Getting specific will make it easier for kids to find what they need and put stuff back where it belongs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Do<\/em><\/strong><em> get creative with organization ideas and think outside of the storage bin. Try a binder to keep track of Lego\u00ae instruction manuals or use file folders to organize coloring books. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,q_auto,c_scale,w_600\/web\/ideas\/article\/5-mom-approved-organization-ideas-3\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Organize toys in the family room using&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/products\/tags\/22802\"><strong>printable basket tags<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;that are easy to switch out as kids outgrow certain toys.

Instead of a catch-all toy bin in the family room, try more specific organization ideas such as designated baskets for different types of toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does it help clear up kid clutter, but <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.himama.com\/preschool-activities-for-cognitive-development\/#:~:text=Sorting%20and%20Classifying,concepts%20and%20even%20everyday%20tasks.\">sorting and classifying is actually good for cognitive development<\/a>. Using pictures to designate the baskets makes it easy for preschoolers to practice being good helpers by matching the toy with the right basket. And as a bonus, picture tags on toy baskets are like a practical, everyday flashcard for little kids learning to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><em>Pro Tip:<\/em><\/strong><em> Picture-tagged baskets are great for the closet too. Especially for items that aren\u2019t hung up like socks, underwear, and accessories.<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to help teach kids to be good helpers is to help them take ownership of their space. Give them tools and time to practice keeping their own stuff in order and keeping their own space clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting kids\u2019 chores on magnets makes helping and keeping their stuff tidy seem more fun. In reality, it\u2019s just very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our magnet project pictured above, we covered printable magnetic business cards with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/products\/sheetprotectors\/73602\">self-laminating sheet<\/a> to instantly make our magnets easy to clean and disinfect\u2014 a must-have for little hands!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,q_auto,c_scale,w_600\/web\/ideas\/article\/5-mom-approved-organization-ideas-4\" alt=\"Two images side by side.

Organize lunch and snack items to help your kids learn to build a balanced lunch on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting kids in charge of choosing their own lunch and snacks each day gives them a confidence boost and saves you from the daily lunchtime rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by organizing lunch and snack items by food group (drinks, veggies, fruits, protein, dairy\/calcium-rich foods, etc.). Set up bins for each food group in the fridge and for the pantry or countertops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use small containers or zip-top bags to portion any items that aren\u2019t individually packaged into individual servings. Add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/products\/labels\/41413\">durable kid-friendly labels<\/a> with instructions to help kids pick the right serving of each item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, veggies and fruits might have a label indicating \u201cPick 2\u201d while a drink might have a label indicating \u201cPick 1.\u201d Let the kids build their own lunch by picking the indicated servings from each bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"closetorganizationforkids\">5) Closet organization ideas for kids&#8217; clothes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids grow out of clothes incredibly fast. Help them keep their closets tidy by regularly removing old items and making sure that wearable everyday items are easy to access. Here is a simple plan for getting seldom-used items out of the way so that kids can easily find the clothes they actually wear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with sorting the kids&#8217; clothes into three containers or piles: toss, donate, seasonal\/special occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Toss anything that is severely damaged or stained<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Donate clothing they\u2019ve outgrown, refuse to wear, or has minor damage and\/or stains<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For seasonal and special occasion outfits, use simple garment bags and printable tags to separate formal wear, costumes, and items that are currently out of season. Then start adding clothes back to the closet based on use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Formal wear &amp; costumes all the way in the back<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, out-of-season items like heavy raincoats in summer, bathing suits in winter, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Current and transitional clothing like light sweaters or jackets at the front<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No more pulling everything out of their closet looking for something to wear. Or wearing the same hoodie every day because they don\u2019t want to dig through the closet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore more organization ideas to start fresh for a new year, or refresh any time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting organized isn\u2019t a one-time activity that\u2019s a magical fix forever. It\u2019s a process that good planning and clever ideas can help make achievable on a day-to-day basis. If things get messy, that\u2019s okay. Life is messy.
