When it comes to Spring cleaning, the dollar store can be your secret weapon. Inexpensive bins, baskets, and containers are perfect for organizing kids' stuff... especially in their playroom. And when it comes to the overwhelming task of getting organized, starting with small changes and projects is the key to success.
Recently, I noticed that my boys' card games were in boxes that were overstuffed and falling apart. I made a quick trip to the dollar store and picked up a couple of small containers that fit their games perfectly.
The containers stack perfectly too!
I love this simple solution for organizing my boys' games, and the games are now easier to take on the road too. It would work well for games with dice and small pieces too.

There is something about Spring that makes me want to get things organized, so I thought I would share this clever stuffed animal storage solution that I first saw here (at Come Together Kids) -- a bean bag chair cover filled with stuffies. So clever!
I found my cover at the Dollar Store for only $3! Then, I let my three year old fill it with stuffed animals.
It is a great storage solution, and a comfy place to cuddle up and read a book. And it is great for sleeping too. :-)
What is your biggest organizing challenge? Maybe I can help.
