Organizing The Kids’ Room
Maybe it’s nesting… I don’t know. Maybe it’s simply the urge to try take back some sort of control or clear my head by clearing up my surroundings. Call it what you will, but I’ve had the drive to organize ORGANIZE ORGANIZE!
First came the kids’ room. It’s nowhere near perfect, but with some help from my mom… clothing was sorted and donated, broken toys trashed, and toys put where they belonged. I didn’t change much in toy storage (although I am still on the lookout for new ideas), but I did change up the hair accessory storage – which used to all be thrown into a clear plastic container in their armoire.
Those of you with a 4 year old and 2 year old would know why my previous storage system might pose a problem… (Think broken pieces and lost headbands EVERYWHERE!)
So, I grabbed a Quaker Oats container, slipped the headbands around that and then divided up their smaller hair accessories into baggies and put those inside and closed the lid. I put a few hair elastics around my hairbrush since when I put Lala’s hair up, I generally use the brush. Then, I put it all in MY bathroom to keep small hands out of it when they just feel like playing…or snacking…on something. 
Along the way, I found some other great organizational tips for Kids’ Rooms that I thought you all would like… check ‘em out!

Over the door shoe organizers for small toys, large coupon folders for flash cards, print pictured labels and tape onto bins with packing tape….
for the next project- magnetic paint!

I have always liked inexpensive baskets on book shelves but you took that idea and worked with what you had. Inexpensive shelves and pails or other toys to hold more toys. And it looks very neat and organized. It is a simple enough system that your child will know where to put things when they are done playing. I like Maxtrix Maxboxes but they are a little more expensive than simple boxes or baskets.
