Ideas for Organizing Toy Boxes

A house with full of children toys sometime could give a little headache. Then we start buying some boxes to keep the toys away from all over the place. But sometimes our children need our help to find a special toy in like 5 different boxes, that also give you a little headache.

We know the word 'organise' and 'sort'. So, why don't we try to implement that words in our children's toys as well. Here are some ideas:

1. Buy different color boxes; we could teach from very young to learn colors and sorting the type of toys (cars, soft toys, lego, wooden thomas tracks, mix toys, etc). If you wish to put the boxes under the bed, make sure you buy the boxes with the wheels. It will so much easier for little hand to pull them out and push in back again.
   
2. Put pictured label on the box; this to help the young one who cannot read yet. By looking at the picture the child will learn which type of toys will go to each box according to the picture.
3. Put named label on the box; this to help the early reader also to learn to read and understand to sort the type of toys according to the name on the box

You can either combine all the ideas above together (specially for little ones), or if the child is reading already he/she probably just want to have named label. See what he/she prefers which idea they like.

Of course this idea will take time for little ones to learn. But like other activities part of learning to grow up, routine and guidance/supervision from parents are the great deal for them.

Apart from organizing toys, those can be used for sorting other type of things in the house. Happy Trying....and Organizing.
