TOYS

"Turn unused wall or door space into storage with peg, Velcro, and hanging-bag systems. They can clear the floor of everything from stuffed animals to backpacks to scooters. A plastic chain is workable for children who are old enough to use the attached clips. A shoe bag can hide inside a closet door or serve as wall decoration. Affixing a Velcro strip to a wall and Velcro pieces to stuffed animals makes cleanup fun for toddlers. " (photo by Bob Hiemstra, from here)

"A Basket in Every Room Place a bin or a sturdy basket in each of the main rooms where your children play. Teach your kids to deposit their toys there when they move from one room to the next. Your nighttime cleanup ritual will be quicker and simpler as the kids will need to go to only one place in each room to retrieve the toys they've played with during the day. "

Label, Label, Label.
"When it comes to keeping kids' rooms organized for the long haul, labels save the day! Use a computer printer to make simple graphic labels for young children. Pictures of socks, shirts, dolls or blocks help remind the child where these items belong. Enhance reading skills for older children by using large-type word labels.

Slap labels everywhere: inside and outside of drawers, on shelf edges and on the plastic shoebox storage containers that belong there, on boxes and bookcases and filing cubes. Playing "match the label" can be fun--and turns toy pickup into a game" (from here)
