What problems are you having? Toys in the floor? No where to put toys or clothes?
Toddlers are old enough to teach to put toys back in their "bins' or containers. Make bins accessible for the toddler to reach and make a clean up time after play. You can decorate laundry baskets for toys.
Clothes? Again.... what is the issue? Storage?
Book shelves with bins and a large toy box would be a good start. Cut yourself some slack and don't be like I was, so concerned about keeping everything neat that I didn't leave time for my kids to be kids a lot of the time.
You could go to a store such as Target, Walmart or even IKEA and get some storage bins. I would also go through each and every item and donate what truly isn't played with anymore. I've also purchased storage tubs and I've kept a few of them downstairs and changed them out from month to month so that they have 'new' (or so they think) toys to play with every month when you bring one of the tubs up from downstairs that they haven't seen in awhile.
From little on my boys knew that before bedtime their toys had to be put in their room. During the day they could play with their toys out in the living room...but at bedtime..back into their room. I had a toy box in each room, a basket in the closet and shelves above their built in dressers. Wasn't always the neatest when they took their toys to their room, but the living area looked neat and tidy when I got up in the morning..
Hi Kim, I love the simple cube storage system, you can fill a wall and stack them, label each cube with the contents
