When you are organizing a playroom or child's bedroom, there's no better way than to round up the help of your children. By getting them involved, they're more likely to keep things in place. Follow these simple tips for keeping toys and clothes under control.

Organize by color.

This helps children categorize their toys and belongings quickly and easily. For example, use blue bins for cars and trucks, red for legos, and yellow for books and puzzles.

Keep things light.

Use containers, bins, and bags that are easy for children to tote outside and around the house.

Schedule time to purge.

Every three months or so, use containers to sort through clothes and shoes to check sizes. Kids grow so quickly and there's no sense in digging through things that don't fit any longer.

Add an Organized Living freedomRail system to your child's closet or playroom.

Since they're so versatile, you can change shelves, adjust hanging space to fit your children as they grow, and add baskets and accessories to accommodate their possessions.

Keep crafts organized.

Use a wire drawer system or plastic bins to keep supplies in one place. Add wheels to the bottom so children can move their project centers from room to room, depending on where you want them.

Organize your children's school papers and projects in a freedomRail OBox File Drawer.

Children's school papers and projects have the ability to take over your kitchen or den. Store them in a freedomRail OBox File Drawer or scrapbook case and label them by each child so you can quickly find that missing permission slip when you need it.

Turntables work perfectly as a centerpiece on an art or project table.

Store craft supplies on the turntable and children can rotate them to quickly access supplies they need.

Always keep your children involved when organizing their bedroom and playroom so they can adopt the habits of being organized too! Find your local dealer to design your child's closet or visit the online Design Tool.
