Having your kids keep their rooms clean can be quite the task! Even after asking and asking and asking, playing outside in the warm weather is so much more fun than organizing your bedroom. (Who knew?)
May 10 is Clean Up Your Room Day, but instead of pleading with your kids to clean their rooms, you could flex your creative muscles and put together some really fun organizational projects that will have your kids excited to clean their rooms!
DRESS-UP COSTUME CLOSET
Even though your kids have more than enough room in their closets and dressers, costumes and dress-up items never seem to find their way back onto the hangers or into the drawers. But if you bought an old dresser from the secondhand store, you could make one man’s trash into another little girl’s wardrobe closet.
This DIY Costume Closet will take a bit of elbow grease, but for the sake of organization and cleanliness, we’d imagine that you’re more than willing — not only because you love your kids, but because you will have a blast putting together this storage item.
Once you’ve pulled out the drawers from the dresser (leaving the bottom one for future storage), you can install a dowel along the inside of the dresser so your kids have another place to hang their costumes. You can get creative and add a mirror, some wallpaper and paint to make this wardrobe worth using for storing dress-up gear.
CHALKBOARD CHEST OF DRAWERS
One thing that makes organizing clothing a little tough is that sometimes you just put clothes wherever they fit. As long as all of the clothes are off the floor, right?
Well, while this makes for a good, short-term solution, when you’re running late and your kids can’t find any partners to their favorite sock after rummaging through their drawers, it’s best to know exactly where everything is, especially those really cool socks!
A creative and really decorative way to organize clothing is to paint your kids’ chest of drawers in chalkboard paint. The slate gray color of the chalkboard color is extremely versatile because it matches with everything, and now that you have a writing surface, you can label each drawer with chalk. Your kids can also be creative and draw all over the dresser without ruining it!
