like many of you, i've been on a organizing kick. cleaning, purging, finding a place for everything, & putting everything in it's place. this week i took on the boys' rooms. christmas provided quite the influx of new toys, & so i decided it was time to get serious on toy organization. luckily, it was easy as 1, 2, 3.
step 1: separate toys into "groups", i.e. cars, trains, transformers & power rangers
step 2: make shrinky dinks representing each group
step 3: fill basket with toys & attach shrinky dink "label"
ta da! toy organization complete. & the best part, my boys actually KNOW where each & everyone of their toys go, so it makes cleaning up a snap! (okay... my boys are 3 & 2, so cleaning up really isn't ever a "snap", but it's definitely made it much easier. & as always, click on picture to enlarge.)

good plan- I don't have a toy organization problem yet since Rowan's main source of entertainment are his hands and shoving them in his mouth, but I'll keep it in mind for some future date
Love the shrinky dink labels!
I love this idea! I just recently found out that you can buy pages of blank shrinky dink paper at Michael's!
Really cute! I love shrinky dinks!
the shrinky-dink labels are genius!
i give your organization two thumps UP! :) looks great!
It's cute but good luck getting them to put them away. I become all anal and am like "no you can't put that car in the action figure box!"
You. are. so. clever.
When are you coming to my house?
OK, I think I need to steal this one! Love it!
