On my blog I occasionally post an organizing tip…usually something I need to work on as well (somehow posting it increases my motivation). Anyway, this would be my 17th organizing tip thus far. You can view the other sixteen here.
#17 Create a drawer, just for toys, in your kitchen.
Move the pots, the plastic containers, the large serving pieces–do whatever it takes to clear up one drawer (closest to the floor) for just toys. I gleaned this idea from my mother-in-law a few years ago and must say having a toy drawer in my kitchen is wonderful. I find that my kids like to stay close and having fun diversions for them keeps them out of trouble too! Well, it helps at least :)

I love that idea. You are so clever!
I have a new title for you, “clever-nista”.
so smart. i’m doing this!
I have had a few drawers just for my daughters Books and coloring stuff. It keeps them out of the toy box ( or black hole)
Awesome idea. In our house, I have a couple low drawers with regular kitchen stuff, but stuff that is okay to play with. Cake pans, etc. A couple cake pans and a spatula makes a great drum set! And don’t get my little boy started on the salad spinner! ;-) (Of course this means I have to rinse these items off before actually using them, but that’s no biggie.)
