Tips for Organizing Kid Clothing

Keeping children’s clothing organized can feel like a monumental task given how quickly they grow and change.

Not only does it maintain an orderly environment, but it also teaches them valuable skills about cleanliness and responsibility.

In the upcoming sections, we will delve deeper into specific strategies such as sorting clothes by use and type, and the importance of regularly purging old clothes.

These tips, along with our free printable clothing drawer labels, will transform the way you manage your kid’s wardrobe, leading to less chaos and more peace in your daily routines. And after you tackle the clothes, declutter the rest by using these organizing hacks for the kid’s room.

Sort clothing by use. 

One thing I like to do is to keep their school clothes separate from the play clothes they wear for more rugged time outdoors and such. This keeps those outfits cleaner and looking nice.

You can also use this to sort things like loungewear, pajamas, and even dress clothes.

If you live somewhere with changing seasons like we do here in Wisconsin, you could sort out winter and summer gear and move things around so you have items easy to separate and store between seasons.

Take time to purge. 

This is one activity you might need to do when the kids aren’t at home. Purging clothing that has been outgrown is not an easy thing to manage. However, it is time to purge outgrown, torn, stained, and worn out clothing.

Unless you want to save items specifically to use for dirty playtime outside or paint time, throw it away or use for cleaning rags. Here are a few other upcycling ideas for old kids clothes too.

For outgrown items, you can donate or even sell them to someone else who can use them. We like to offer some of these things on our local “buy nothing” group.

This definitely makes it easier to use the free printable clothing drawer labels for organizing your kid’s clothes when you have fewer categories to sort!

Sort by type so kids can pick out and put away clothing. 

When it comes to organizing children’s clothing, sorting each item by use and type is essential for a streamlined process. This means everything from dresses, skirts, pants, shorts, shirts, sweaters, tee shirts, pajamas, socks and underwear should have their own designated space.

When I set up my daughter’s dresser drawers, I wanted to group clothing types together that made sense to her while also staying organized. To utilize the space in each drawer better, I bought a couple sets of adjustable drawer dividers.

These helped a lot so her clothes wouldn’t continue being a huge jumbled pile. Putting away laundry is not my daughter’s favorite chore, but it goes smoother now that she knows where her clothes go.

I love the idea of giving my kids the chance to show their own personality. That includes picking out their own outfits.

So, I like using these printable labels on the dresser to help them know what drawers they can pick from each day.

This gives them some independence and freedom to express themselves and helps free my time up in the mornings.

If getting ready in the morning is difficult, using a weekly hanging organizer for school clothes may help so they can pick things out and sort in advance.

Using fun printable labels for your child’s clothing can really help get your day to day struggles down to a minimum.

Not only will your kid’s rooms be more organized, but your daily routine getting them up and dressed for the day or out the door to daycare or school will be easier. These just help make it simple to manage.

What Age Can Kids Put Away Clothes?

As children grow, they become more capable of independently managing their own clothing. By the age of 5, most kids are able to dress themselves and put away clothes in an orderly fashion. Depending on your child’s maturity level, you might begin teaching them earlier or later than this.

Using free printable labels like ours will help make this process easier for both you and your kids. They will be able to quickly identify and sort their clothing into the proper drawers without your help.

Overall, the sooner you get them started on this routine, the better prepared they will be for later in life when it comes to organizing their own spaces. Plus, it’s a great way for them to gain responsibility and learn important life skills.

I'm glad you found our tips helpful, Mandy! Even though they may not put their clothes away as neatly as we'd like, it's great to get them into the habit of doing it.
