TIP TUESDAY: Organizing kids

When my children were little, I used to try to figure out creative ways of keeping all their things organized.  At the time, we had three kids:  two sons and a daughter.  Organizing them was pretty straightforward!  Each child had a crate in a particular color (one boy had red, one boy had blue and our daughter had a pink crate!) and they each had coordinating hangers and drawers for their clothes.

When our brood began to grow, organizing them became more difficult.  After all, there weren't that many different colored crates!  I ended up getting some three-drawer plastic drawers and labeled them with the children's names.  For school books, we found a set of 8 lockers for free!

What creative ways do you have to share for organizing your kids?
