I have to give you another disclosure before you go any further….don’t judge that my daughters room was so completely disastrous in the “before” pictures. I was REALLY bad at organizing her small little space, and she was really good at destroying it quickly. I have that ALL taken care of now. In fact, I have incorporated a little system that I love in this post on Toddler Room Organization. Not only that, but there is a giveaway going on as part of the January National Get Organized month that you don’t want to miss out on, so keep reading!
Toddler Room Organization Ideas
Here is the thing, Addy’s room is not your regular room. We had a 3 bedroom house with an office when we got pregnant with Addy. Her room in a converted office that does not have a closet. She has no “extra space” so we have to get creative with her space. (WARNING: The next picture may give you heart palpitations.)
I obviously was NOT doing a great job. I purchased this HUGE storage bin to contain all of her toys but it was NOT a great idea in hindsight. Mostly because the bin was so big she could never find any of her toys, so she just left them out and left them everywhere. I would clean and she would “destroy”. I had to think of a better solution. With limited storage space I needed a better plan. I did this with a simple 2 step process.
Toddler Room Organization Ideas
Step 1: To take care of the toy situation (which was the MAIN problem) I decided to get storage bins that were stackable and had sliding drawers. This would not only organize her toys, but it is an easier way to help teach her to keep her toys organized.
Step 2: To help teach organization I also used the Brother P-Touch Label Maker. Each of the drawers above are labeled with which toys should belong in each drawer. It was super easy to use, and Addy is learning how to recognize words every day, so I thought this would help her.
Using the Brother P Touch label maker is super simple, and a really nice item to have when organizing. You can use it for so many different things, and it’s so small that’s it’s easily stored without taking up much space. Don’t you love the diversity of labels I had to make for her toys? She is your typical toddler.
This also allowed me to remove some of the toys from her kitchen and vanity into the bins. I love it because she is less cluttered and so much more organized.
For such a small space, I think we have her room well organized now. She’s learning how to use her storage bins and has been doing well at putting her toys back into the correct labeled bin.
Brother is giving away a Brother P Touch label make every day in the month of January as well as a Grand Prize pack worth up to $2000. Go here to enter and find out more.
