Here are OrganizedHome. A place for everything . . . Stand picture books on end in a dishpan for a flip-through library. Plastic storage cubes and hanging file folders solve paperwork storage for an older child. Color-code hanging file folders by subject.
Bookcases can be frustrating storage tools for smaller children.
Use magazine storage boxes, clear shoebox-sized organizers, dishpans or shallow cardboard boxes to store homeschool materials on bookcase shelves. Game pieces, manipulatives and puzzle pieces live happily in large zipper food storage bags. Creative use of color simplifies homeschool storage. Assign each child a color. Colored organizers, file folders, storage cubes and report colors sort Kid A from Kid B in bedroom, schoolroom and on the desk.
