3. CHOOSING THE RIGHT CONTAINERS:
                                                              According to the measurements of your closet shelves, as well as the amount of
                                                              toys you have, you have to figure out which containers will fit properly to give a neat
                                                              look. The best containers are the clear Sterilite ones with the purple handles. They
                                                              can be purchased at Cuisinet.

                                                              Every container needs to be clearly labeled with what’s inside. This helps the kids
                                                              (and mommies!) know where everything belongs. Some people even label it in
                                                              Spanish too, for the cleaning lady!

                                                              After all is said and done, take a picture of your freshly organized closet and stick it
                                                              on the inside of the closet door. This will act as a guide when packing away in the
                                                              future.
