Organizing the Piles of Toys
We are always looking for better ways to organize the toys that we have in the
house. Earlier in the year, we were given a toy box with bins on top similar to the ones in the Sesame Street 9 Bin Toy Organizer pictured here. It’s been a great help in our boys’ room, but there’s still just too much in general! These are the days that I desperately wish that I wasn’t such a pack-rat, and that I wasn’t passing that trait down to my kids!
I feel like I gleaned a few good ideas reading this article from Bend Weekly about one mom’s effort to both teach her kids to keep their rooms and play areas neat and tidy, and to teach them to know and value the differences between needs, wants, and keeping too much. There’s a lot to learn in school, but these lessons from home do a ton to shape the characters of our kids. Let me know what you think of the article!

was wondering about the sesame street toy organizer , whether the bins are big enough for the larger toddler books (like the interactive books he likes)–i can’t tell from the picture on amazon.com

Janice: Thanks for commenting. :) I’m not really sure at the size of the bins. However, there is another listed at amazon that looks like it has some bigger bins, and some magazine racks as well. That might be more useful. Here’s the link.
