07 November, 2022
Spring has arrived and you find yourself once again in front of a cluttered and upside down shed or garage? Are you wondering how you will manage to get out the bikes or tennis rackets without knocking over the mountains of boxes that are piled up in a corner? Would you like to make sure that your children can easily find their toys and sports equipment while preventing them from having access to dangerous products and tools? Follow these tips now to sort and organize your shed or garage once and for all !
The three-level organization
At Les Belles Combines, as you know, we like to encourage children to be independent , and that's why we suggest you organize your garage or shed using a three-level storage system :
Level 1 : safe products and items suitable for children aged around five years and under (sand toys, wooden or plastic tools, balls, etc.)
Level 2 : Products and items that are safe and suitable for children aged approximately six years and older
Level 3 : Products and items that are safe and suitable for children aged approximately nine years and older
The organization into sections
To quickly see where the items you need are located, consider organizing your garage or shed into different sections:
Gardening : gardening tools, fertilizers, garden soil, etc.
Sports and leisure items : ball bins, baseball and hockey bats, tennis and badminton rackets, chalk, sand toys, bicycle helmets (installed on hooks), etc.
Cleaning products and tools : hammer, saw, windshield washer fluid, etc.
Products and items prohibited for children : large tools and toxic/dangerous products
Finally, of course, ask each member of the family to always put objects and products back where they took them , so that it is easy to find them quickly and to keep the place clean and well organized!
