The child grows, and with him in the house there are more and more things belonging to him: new and old toys, books, drawings and applications, kits for creativity. It is not possible to get rid of this. Children stubbornly do not want to part with toys that have not been used for a long time. If you can’t throw it away, it is required that all these things are not scattered, but neatly laid out in their places. When teaching a child to put things in order, one cannot apply methods applicable to adults.
This should be done in a fun, playful way. Even storage areas for children's things should be bright and attractive. It should be convenient for the child to use shelves and cabinets. He must reach them without getting up on the chair and without climbing onto the table. Below are a few tips on how to organize the storage of things in the children's room more rationally.
Books separately, toys separately
Storage places for children's things are organized in those places where the child uses them so that the child does not get confused at first when putting things in order. In the corner for creativity, pencils, paints, plasticine are stored. Toys are stored in the play corner. Children's clothes are folded in a separate closet. Outerwear hangs on hangers. Socks panties and T-shirts are stored on their separate shelves. Pants and sweaters on others.
Each shelf should have a picture of the item that should be stacked on it. The child will first compare the picture with the objects in his hand before putting it in its place. In the future, you can complicate the separation. White items are stored separately from colored items.
Sling bookshelves
A child from childhood should be taught to respect books. One of the rules of respect is that books should not be left lying around. There are bookshelves to store them. But when the shelves in the house are occupied by adult books and they hang high, it is not convenient for the child to use them. In order not to buy children's shelves separately and not to drill walls for them, there is an original solution for storing books - sling shelves. Such shelves can be made by yourself or purchased at the store. These are suspended structures. The height can be adjusted so that it is comfortable for the child to use them. And the books will now be in order, and there is no need to buy new furniture.
Drawstring bags
The original method to put things in order in a second. The bags are laid out and occupy an area of several square meters. They are comfortable to sit and play on.But it is worth pulling the rope, as the edges are pulled together, the toys remain inside, and the bag becomes quite compact. Great for storing soft toys. It is convenient to play at home or take on nature.
Corner for creativity
All children go through a passion for creativity. They enthusiastically sculpt, draw, cut and glue. They like to do creative work, but they don’t really clean up after themselves. You won't achieve anything by command method. There will only be tears and screaming. Try to take disposable paper or plastic cups, paint them in different colors and fix them on the children's shelf. These will be houses for pencils, brushes and felt-tip pens. Hang a large piece of paper on the wall. Perhaps the child will want to draw while standing. This way you keep the wallpaper on the walls.
