■Mon.-Fri. Closet Organizer – Have a week’s worth of school clothes picked out and ready to go. As a kid who always had her clothes laid out the night before, I LOVE this idea!

■Mailing Tubes for Art Storage – Label, roll, and store the endless art projects that are no longer on display in mailing tubes.

■Closet Bins Labeled with Pictures – Great idea for younger children who can’t read; separate various items with images instead of words.

■Closet Hooks Labeled with Sizes – Perfect for the closets of nurseries, growing kids, or shared siblings

■Wagon as Bookshelf –An adorably clever way to display and organize your kids’ books!

■The Fridge Chore Chart – an oldie but a goodie

■Nursery Organization Bins ‘Burp, Bathe, Bundle’ – Great way to keep your rags, towels, and blankets separated.

■Photo Paperweight – Add a little joy to your work with photo paperweights of your kids!

■Playful Jars for arts & crafts storage

■3-Ring Binders for school papers, report cards by grade, etc. – With so many brilliant ideas out there, it’s still hard to beat a 3-ring binder for school organization.

■Create a Household Binder to keep track of finances, babysitters, schedules, EVERYTHING. Don’t miss the step-by-step instructions and other genius suggestions at iheartorganizing.blogspot.com!

■Wall Book Shelf to keep books on display and out of the way

■Kids Workspace – If you have the space, provide your kids with their own organized workspace for crafts, schoolwork, and activities. Modify for their ages and likes, but remember to leave room for growth.

■Lego Organization – Legos are incredible toys for learning, but I have discovered that they are organization’s worst nightmare! Keep them under control with labeled bins by color. Include designated bins for the boards and the character pieces.

■Mudroom Central – Love the shoe organization, clear calendar, and wall storage!

■Planters as Wall Storage for Toys
