Earth House Collective

1. Catch up with the children: Kneeling in her room to see it from the perspective of children. Comfort is an important factor in getting someone to order or collect things: put a low closet rods, put the most used objects on shelves and lower shelves. Place bins, boxes, baskets … decorative corners on the floor of the closet at the foot of the bed.

2. Make it fun ordering: Order a room can be a daunting task even for adults. Imagine how the child can feel at the thought of collecting all their toys, clothes and school supplies. Let the child be involved, allowing a creative label and taste their own drawers and storage bins. We can also give the child some pictures and paste them into cubes and drawers. Another option is to attach the drawer front in a sample of its contents. For example, if we keep in a small box of toy soldiers can tape a plastic bag in the front and introduce into it a toy soldier as an example of content. You can buy plastic protective sheets, cut to size and use tape to stick labels laminated to the storage bins. Put a laundry basket in a basketball hoop for children.

3. Take advantage of the space under the bed to store things: Use rectangular storage bins, flat wheels, specially designed for storing things under the bed. You can sort by type of toy blocks. Young children can store their art supplies in one of the cubes, the elderly can get books and school books. And if you love music, you can save them a lot of CDs.

4. Establish a code of colors. You can buy storage bins of different colors for different types of toys or sorting clothes on hangers of different colors, or use a different color for each child.

5. Hang your pictures on the walls. For the child, his collection of drawings made by him may be as important to us, our collection of paintings purchased. We can buy some inexpensive frames and hang drawings grouped on a wall as an artistic composition. This will add a decorative touch to the room and staff. We can also put a cork / board so that children can hang their medals and awards for sports or school. You can put another cork for your photos. Or hang a rectangular fabric organizer with pockets made by us in a vertical position behind the door so you can put photos, birthday cards, postcards, etc..

6. Negotiate with them basic rules to keep order. For example, before you play another board game, pick the former. Or that before each season gifts (birthday, Christmas, etc..), Has to choose a toy to donate to a charity and make happy like a child who does not have his luck. Another possible rule is you can not have anything in your room does not have a site, thus, if the drawer is full and you want to store something new, you should throw something old to make room.
