Read how Planner Perfect, gal, Lorraine, keeps her kiddos snow gear, organized…thanks, Lorraine!
It doesn’t snow often here, but when it does, we need to be ready to go enjoy it quick! All hats, gloves, boots, etc are kept in a box in the coat closet. The kids tuck jammie pants into socks, and pants up over them, then add a second layer of socks. I lay out the winter gear with their coats while they are getting dressed (I have 3, ages 10, 8, and 6)
On the way back in – I keep a laundry basket next to the door. As they come in, ALL WET items get dropped in the basket, boots get lined up on the mat to dry. Once everyone is in, the basket gets emptied into the dryer. Then we all enjoy a big cup of hot chocolate, and hope there will be enough snow to play in later. 🙂
Love it Great Ideas Thanks!!
We get a lot of snow each winter. I have a plastic organizer with drawers near the door. Each child has an assigned drawer where all hats, mitts, scarves etc are kept. That way everyone's gear is quickly available when it is time to head outside.
We have a wood stove near the back door and all wet stuff gets laid out in front of it until dry and then returned to the drawers ready for the next time we head out. I like the laundry basket idea to and might start keeping one handy for those days that I don't have the time to let it all air dry!
Thank you for the tip!
