Organize your child's art pictures by rotating them on a cable line screwed in to the wall, 1 cable per child. This can be 2 ft long up to 10 foot long. Add metal or plastic clips to the cable. Hang the artwork along the cable line, newest on the left moving to the right.
A wise friend once told me when my children were young that the best solution to CONSTANTLY picking up toys was to go through the toy box and pick out toys to pack away for later and narrow down the choices the child has to make. Trust me it works!
I would appreciate any helpful ideas on organizing toys for my 1 year old daughter. We have not purchased many containers yet. I have seen the shelves with the open bins (interested if people like this or not) and other ideas for a play area and my family room. PLEASE send pictures also if you have examples!
If your children or grandchildren have several board puzzles, here is a great way to know which piece goes to which puzzle, when two or more are out at once. This works great in preschools also. Turn all the boards over and number them 1- whatever.
I just found out that I'm pregnant with our 2nd child. We at the moment live in a 2 bed, 2 bath single wide trailer. This little one will need to share a room with it's now 13 month old sister, she will be around 20-21 months at the due date. How do I get 2 kids organized in such a small space, especially when they may be opposite sex.
My granddaughter is going into first grade and I wanted to get her something that would be good all year long and maybe longer. What I did was pick out a new hard binder in her favorite color (purple) and put 40 page savers in the binder.
With a 2 year old son who is a prolific "colorer" and a fridge that is non-magnetic stainless, I had a dilemma on how to display my little artist's work.
Toddlers love to play with puzzles and of course they will always mix the pieces in the same box. I have a three year old boy that just started with the 24 pieces and he will put the pieces together and want someone to sort the puzzle.
Pop open hampers are great for other things besides clothes. Pop Open Hampers are great for other things besides clothes. I love those new Pop Open hampers that are spring metal frame and nylon mesh construction. Each of our kids has one, each in a different color and they know to put their dirty clothes in them. . .
