Top organizing tips for kids - ways to help kids learn how to organize

Organizing doesn’t come easily for me.  And sadly it doesn’t for my kids either.  But I have some top organizing tips to help with that!

Top organizing tips for kids - ways to help kids learn how to organize
They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Sadly, that is true in my kids case.  Organization doesn’t come easy for them.  But then again, does it for any kid?  (if it does, don’t tell me)  I know that they can learn how to be organized from good examples and from being taught.  It’s something we all struggle with in my home.  In an effort to get on top of our game, I gathered top organizing tips for kids.  These are things that will help kids learn how to be more organized.  These ideas require some supervision and encouragement to start, but eventually will help them to be successful on their own.


Toy Organization
Are you as tired of toys and kid stuff spread from one side of the house to the other? Use these tips to help cut toy clutter down.

LEGO storage ideas
1. For all you who have kids who love LEGOS.  These LEGO Storage ideas should help you step on less.


2. Make a car garage for better organization and easy to see storage.

3. Put picture labels on bins to make it easy to tell what is in each spot.


4. Use this clever IKEA hack to make benches with toy storage for a play room or bedroom.  Awesome!
