Joe Szabo Scottsdale Real Estate for Sale
By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team
One of the things that most homeowners with small children struggle with is the organization of toys. Getting your toddler or kindergartener to pick up their toys is a battle within itself, but with these helpful hints maybe cleaning up can work for the whole family, not just fall on the shoulders of the mom.
Get down to your child’s eye level to help him or her get organized. Look at your child’s space, storage, furniture and possessions from his or her vantage point. The view may surprise you!
Adult furniture and organizing systems don’t translate well to children’s needs. Sticky dresser drawers are hard for small hands to manage. Folding closet doors pinch fingers and jump their rails when pushed from the bottom. Closet hanging rods are out of reach, while adult hangers don’t fit smaller clothing. Traditional toy boxes house a tangled jumble of mixed and scattered toy parts.
To organize a child’s room, solutions must fit the child. For younger children, remove closet doors entirely. Lower clothing rods and invest in child-sized hangers. Use floor-level open containers to hold toys, open plastic baskets to store socks and underwear.
Devise a simple daily checklist for maintenance. To organize a child’s room, tailor the effort to the child.
