In your children's eyes, the world is a jungle out there. But in yours, their room is more like an Amazon forest because of all the clutter lying around.
But it doesn't have to be like this. Instead of always cleaning up, try to look for a more permanent solution by organizing and de-cluttering your kid's things. Here are a few simple tips to help you get started.
Make stacking fun.
Try to make your storage, such as drawers, boxes, cabinets, more interesting. You can use stackable PET containers, which can be simulated as games for kids like blocks and puzzles. Also, using stackable containers can help you save on space and your children in easily accessing to their things.
The images of the containers also help. Decorating them with bright colors, animals, or cartoon characters can make them more appealing and friendly to use.
Turn chores into games.
The idea of cleaning as a chore does not really speak positively to a child. So instead of ordering your kids to pick up their things, play a game with them. Think of games that can challenge and engage them to clean their room. If necessary, you can add incentives or prizes for the best and fastest cleaners. Add music, colors, and laughter to the cleaning process.
Teach them to throw their unwanted stuff away.
You can organize an annual clean-up drive in your kid's room by guiding him to sort out the things he no longer wants or needs. After this, you can donate the unwanted items to an orphanage or a charitable institution. This way, your kid will not only learn the value of cleanliness, he or she will also develop a charitable heart.
