shelves, organize by putting the toys and items that are used the least at the top of the shelf, and the toys that are used the most at the bottom. If you have children of different ages, make sure the younger ones have their toys at the bottom where they're easy to access. Make sure that whatever shelving system you use is secure and safe for children to use -- it may need to be attached to the wall. Incorporate bins, baskets and other storage units into your shelves to keep smaller items neat. Kids acquire an incredible number of small toys, and they can get out of control pretty quickly. Make sure you measure your shelves before purchasing any bins so that you know they'll fit properly. Hooks are another great space-saving storage solution. Put up a row for your child's backpack, dress-up clothes, etc. 3. Label, label, label. Make cleaning up as easy as possible by clearly labeling where everything belongs. If you want the bed oom or playroom to stay neat and clean, there's really no way you can go overboard here. Label hooks, bins, shelves and drawers to encourage your children to put things where they belong. Make sure that your children's play space is out of the way, but still in sight so you can keep an eye on them. This not only helps make for a more secure and comfortable playtime, but it also makes things easier when cleaning or searching for lost toys.
