For those parents who have ever raised a child, or any number of kids, then you'll probably be able to relate first hand to how challenging it can be to get kids to keep their rooms clean and tidy. As parents, we can supply them with clothes hampers. We supply them with clothes closet hangers only to notice that dirty clothes are sometimes just tossed in the general vicinity of the intended receptacle. In the meantime, the clean clothes piled in a crumpled heap in the middle of the floor may be a common sight as well. This last scenario is enough to make most mothers cringe, plead and threaten their older offspring with the prospect of doing their own laundry.
Meanwhile, we continue to look for some new way to bring order to the chaos. Here are some colorful options you might consider from the local dollar store that may help to inspire neatness in little ones.
We liked a 3-tiered mesh storage unit (for just a dollar.) It came with a Velcro fastener making it easy to hang it over the rod in the closet to store sweaters and other items of clothing or hang it on the back of the bedroom door for some neat toy storage.
One dollar gets you this hanging organizer. It was originally meant for shoes, but it can also be hung by a child's desk to store pencils, markers, glue sticks and other small stationery items.
If your child has a certain fondness for a specific cartoon character, it isn't necessary to pay the bucks for every matching accessory with that character on it. For example, we decorated this plain orange garbage can with "silly old bear" wall stickers, which adhere to plastic items admirably and are easily replaced by whatever new character love your child should develop in their ever-growing world. Then we spied small storage baskets that were very close matches to colors of Winnie The Pooh yellow and Tigger orange. The idea is to look for useful items like these in colors that match your own chosen theme. Wall or window stickers are a dollar per sheet, as are the plastic garbage and storage baskets.
Plastic child-sized hangers come in red, blue, yellow and green colors. I bought a package of 8 for a dollar. You can also get hangers featuring animated "cellulose icons" like that yellow sponge guy or the young female explorer. They come in packages of 3 for a dollar at your local dollar store.
When helping a child decorate their rooms for holiday season, why not try adding a miniature lit Christmas tree that can also serve as a night light for the holiday nights, or even set up a small nativity scene of their own as a project for the both of you to partake in. The dollar store usually offers peel and stick and reusable window stickers for just about every season as well so you can decorate for other holidays as well.
