Ideas for keeping children's toys and belongings in order

Who has children knows how hard it is keep the house tidy because of the toys they leave everywhere. However, with some techniques it is possible to keep their room, the toy room and the whole house tidy, just discipline and organization to achieve.

Here are some tips for you to adopt and make your home a more organized place.

Leave paintings and crafts in sight

Not sure where to put the pictures your child just made? Set aside space in his room or toy room, if any, so these objects can be on display.

This will enhance his creativity, complement the decor with a personal object, and prevent designs from being scattered or lost throughout the home.

Scan paintings to save space

After leaving your child's paintings and drawings exposed on the wall or mural for a while, you can scan the image to save the drawing on your computer and get rid of the material. This saves you space. You can also reuse this paper by taking advantage of the back of it.

Use boxes and chests to organize the mess

Organizer boxes and chests are great allies for moms. In them you can separate the toys and store them in an organized way, making the best use of the space. It is recommended, however, to opt for transparent boxes that allow the child to see what is inside the box. This way you prevent your child from having to open all the boxes to find the toy he wants to use.

Another nice organizational option is separate toys by type and label the boxes. You can label and write the type of toy in the box, or have your child draw an object that represents them if he or she does not read it yet.

You can even have a stroller to easily carry boxes and toys anywhere in the house. This will also make it easier to pick up the toys and take everyone to the room because he can take them all at once.

Create rules and match with your child to keep order

Finally, none of this will work if you and your child do not agree rules to keep everything in order. The basic principle he should follow is to store the toys after using them, but you can create new ones together. Be disciplined to encourage him to be too and cover him with responsibility for toys.

Following these tips makes it much more practical and easier to keep the house organized even with children playing everywhere.
