Kids and clutter seem to go hand in hand. But, it's possible to reduce some of the clutter -- particularly seasonal clutter that results from back-to-school, holidays and special events, like birthdays.
The key to cutting kids' clutter is providing a hassle-free solution that makes clean up quick and easy.
One such solution to reducing kids clutter is to buy a 16-pocket, over-the-door, vinyl bag. Usually dubbed "shoe bags," or "toy bags," these clutter busters are ideal for kids' school supplies, toys, underclothes, accessories and much more.
The bags can be purchased for as little as $1 from variety stores across the country. Many chain stores and some mail order catalogs offer similar products for much more money. The $1 no-frills version is strong and durable, and affordable for budget-conscious shoppers.
Some of these bags are designed with a small round hole on the top, while others are equipped with a mini hanger. These features allow the bags to be either nailed or hung, depending on the purchaser's preference.
This versatility allows the bags to be fun and easy for kids to use in the fight against clutter. The bags can be hung low enough for children to reach without assistance. As a precautionary measure, keep the vinyl bags away from younger children's reach.
These $1 kid clutter reducers are great places to store small school supplies such as pencils, erasers, crayons, markers, rulers, glue and glue sticks. Keep in mind, however, that any sharp or toxic items should be hung at a height that will diminish the potential for harm to children.
The bags are a hit with boys and girls alike. Boys especially love to slam dunk their toys and personal belongings into the bag. Girls, on the other hand, find the bags a neat idea for storing their hair balls and other accessories, as well as their 11 inch fashion dolls and dolls' accessories.
At just $1, the bags come in an amazing array of colors that can be coordinated with any decor. Some choices include: match-with-anything white and beige; bold primary colors more appealing to boys; and, pretty florals, pinks and yellows great for young girls. Selecting a child's favorite colors may increase the chance that they will willingly use the bags to help reduce clutter. Purchasing different colors for different items also is a great way to help children keep track of their school supplies, toys and personal belongings. That in turn, is a neat idea, that will help them begin to learn personal organizational skills.
