Before After
I created all of the labels using Word and Google images. I printed them out onto Avery labels and placed them on the containers. For the wire baskets, I printed the labels and glued them onto cardstock, punched a hole at the top and attached them with fiber ribbon that I had on hand from Close to my Heart (discontinued, but they have great colored twine that I could have used instead). For the basket with handles, I wrapped ribbon around the handles to keep them up and it made easy for my son to grab onto and carry.

Looks amazing! Now can you tell me how you're going to get him to keep it looking like that? That is definitely where my little ones struggle.
ReplyDeleteBy putting a picture on the outside of each container, it helps him to know where to return it. I also saw a really cute idea where the mom leaves a note that says she picked up items that were not returned to their right place and the child will have to choose a chore to get it back! It's basically a habit that needs to form so every night we look in the room and tell him its time to put his things away where they belong. We tell him to look for the picture and match up the items that belong in that container. Seems to be working great so far!
