Design Your Own
Let’s keep in the creative mode. I will admit that I am a bit of a slob. But I saw a sign once that says something about a cluttered desk being a sign of genius. Anyway, back to the kids. When they come over it’s easy for me to let them make a mess and leave it, since I’m not very good at cleaning own messes. Well, another little saying I heard once was to have a place for everything and everything in its place. That’s where storage containers and drawers come in. Each girl got a set to put her things in. Walmart has a nice inexpensive selection click on the link above. I picked the princess sets because they were smaller and I don’t have much room. I got some from Walmart and put their name on their drawer set. Now when it’s pick up, they have their own private space. Now what about the toys in the basement! Those big plastic box containers don’t have any decorations on them. That’s where the fun comes in. Have your kids decorate the storage boxes. Remember, they’re not going to be featured in Good Housekeeping, the goal here is to have fun. What to decorate them with? Paint, stickers and glue!!!!!!!!!!! (Don’t forget their special play t-shirts). You know all that junk mail you get with pictures of toys and movies and you throw it in the recycle because you don’t need to buy all that stuff? You’re right, you don’t need to buy all that stuff, JUST CUT OUT THE PICTURES and let the kids go on a glue frenzy on their storage boxes. Remember, we’re going cheap here. They will have loads of fun and get the creative juices flowing. Maybe they want to decorate one box for dress up clothes, one box for Legos, etc. You get the idea. Have fun and make sure to wear your special play t-shirt when you paint!
