Quick kid clean-up tip

]]> If you’ve got more than one child then cleaning up at the end of the day can be somewhat of a nightmare. Each kid has their own sets of blocks, Legos, tiny cars, discarded socks, books, hair ties, and more. It’s not easy to tell who owns what; if you’re the parent. But luckily kids always know which item is theirs; all you have to do is facilitate clean-up.

To make it easy give each kid a bucket with their name on it. These aren’t storage buckets, but clean-up buckets only. At the end of the day, kids can scoot around the house with their bucket and quickly pick-up items that belong to them, then transfer said items to their proper resting place. You can use name labels or a permanent marker to write your kids names on the buckets, or simply assign them each a color.
