Here’s a selection culled from one of those home organisation books that you can pick up at the library.

Some of the ideas are good ones – but some aren’t. Judge for yourself and find the ones that work for you.

Hooks Hooks are easy for children to hang things on if things are stored in bags, as well as being ideal for clothing such as coats and hats.

They’re also easy to install and remove, and you can put them at any
height you fancy to suit your children.

However, they’re hopeless for things that aren’t stored in bags for obvious reasons. I wouldn’t store, for example, jigsaw puzzles in bags
on hooks.

Sliding baskets made of metal mesh or slots, similar to what you see inside a refrigerator. These work quite well
for larger items such as soft toys.

They are self-correcting, to use a Montessori term, if something small is put into them by mistake – the small
thing will fall out.

Bookshelves Great for books for obvious reasons, although children will find putting books in properly a bit tricky at first and will have to let the books lie flat, stacked on top of each other.
![Page 12: What are some potential storage solutions for your kids](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020209/568bd9c71a28ab2034a84a67/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Other things can be kept on bookshelves if they come in boxes,
such as board games.
![Page 14: What are some potential storage solutions for your kids](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020209/568bd9c71a28ab2034a84a67/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Shoe or cosmetics organisers of the type consisting of a set of pockets hanging on a panel that can be hung up like a poster inside the wardrobe or on the back of the door (at child height, obviously).
![Page 15: What are some potential storage solutions for your kids](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020209/568bd9c71a28ab2034a84a67/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

While these are quite good for corralling small objects they have one
downside – the pockets are sometimes too deep for small hands
to reach.
![Page 17: What are some potential storage solutions for your kids](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020209/568bd9c71a28ab2034a84a67/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Ziplock bags These are ideal for corralling small objects and can be stored on shelves or in mesh cubes, drawers or cubbyholes.
![Page 18: What are some potential storage solutions for your kids](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020209/568bd9c71a28ab2034a84a67/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Cubbyholes These have an advantage over drawers in that there tend to be more of them in a set and that children don’t have problems with drawers that stick. Things can fall off them, however.

Toy chests Old-fashioned toy chests – deep wooden things with big lists – may hide all the toys away from view so floors can keep tidy but they get chaotic very quickly, are hard and potentially dangerous for children to use.
![Page 22: What are some potential storage solutions for your kids](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020209/568bd9c71a28ab2034a84a67/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

If some kind relative or friend gives you one of these “for the
children”, use it for storing blankets or the like rather than toys.

Labels Labelling things is a great way to help children (and adults) know what goes where. But labels don’t just have to have words on them.
![Page 25: What are some potential storage solutions for your kids](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020209/568bd9c71a28ab2034a84a67/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

If your children haven’t quite got onto learning to read, then have a
picture to show what should go into the box/onto the shelf, etc. Have the word there, too, to encourage your
child as he/she learns to read.

Stackable boxes, both the sort with and without wheels and lids. These are OK, especially for containing large sets of things, such as blocks, Lego or craft materials.

Desks with lids Remember the old school desks? They have gone out in many classrooms but they are great for at home.
![Page 30: What are some potential storage solutions for your kids](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020209/568bd9c71a28ab2034a84a67/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

They’re best for keeping the stuff that will be used on top of the desk, such as drawing paper, pencils and
painting gear.
