Tip: If toys and play things are kept in the family room or in a toy room, the same principles apply. Keep the toys contained in bins, cubbies, boxes, or some kind of sturdy containers. Clear plastic containers or open baskets are what I recommend because it is easy to see at a glance what is in them.

Bookshelves

Take everything off of bookshelves and wipe the shelves clean. Bookcases or freestanding shelves secured to the wall can hold not only books but many other things. Bins or baskets can hold children's craft supplies, puzzles, and collections if these are kept in the bedroom. Containers with lids are nice for pens, colored pencils, beads, and other craft items. An open basket can hold colored or plain paper as well as books. These can be placed on the bookshelves to make it convenient for children to use.

As you place books back on the shelf, make sure the books are age-appropriate and in good condition. Mend well-worn books that are family favorites. If the books have been scribbled in and can't be read, recycle them. Donate books that are no longer read or put them in the BE basket if you are going to put them in another place in your home (storing them for other children or putting them in other bookcases). If your child is an avid reader, get a library card and make the most of it. The library will expose the child to countless titles without cluttering your house or costing you money. When he or she finds a book that is a favorite, then you can buy that book.

The library will expose your child to countless books without the clutter.
