Every mother wants a perfect order in the nursery. First, you have to direct it on your own, and then to him teach and child. In this article, we will give you 5 practical advice that will help teach the baby to independently arrange their things on the shelves at the age of three. This will be useful for the child, and mom will ease the household chores.
1. Look for more storage solutions.
Put more lockers, shelves, boxes, baskets in the nursery. All this will help to organize the storage of things. Be sure to buy a chest of drawers for your baby. Do not be afraid that you overdo it, because gradually the baby will remember where what lies. The main thing is to regularly explain to the child that each thing should be in its place. It’s okay if the shelves and boxes are only half full. It’s even more convenient - you don’t have to turn them upside down to find the right toy or clothes. All things will remain in sight, and this is important for the baby.
2. Provide your child with free access to all things.
Piglet from the fairy tale about Winnie the Pooh also noticed that it is very difficult to be small. I can’t reach the high shelf, open a tight drawer, push back a heavy basket. So the task of parents is to make sure that the child has free access to all shelves and lockers with his things. If you use opaque boxes, stick colorful stickers on them - and the baby will understand what is inside. The same can be done with chest drawers. To make the child reach higher shelves, put a small bench on which he can easily climb. At the very top, you can put seasonal clothes and ceremonial-weekend things that are not used every day.
3. Set feasible tasks
It will take time for the crumb to get the hang of carefully stacking things in stacks. In the meantime, teach him to hang clothes on hooks and a baby hanger. For small items, you can pull a rope with funny clothespins - wielding them, the child, in addition to everything, will develop fine motor skills. It’s more important to maintain order, and not to hang clothes on your shoulders!
4. Cheer up the baby
No one can immediately do everything perfectly, so you have to arm yourself with patience and work hard. To motivate a child to maintain order, cheer him up with a kind word, albeit carefully stacked things and look more like a shapeless bunch. Tell the baby that he helps you a lot - and he will feel important.And reinforce all explanations with a personal example, because it is more visual than any words.

5. Add game elements
Children love toys - so use this to teach your baby order. Install a toy chest of drawers or a locker in his room and store real things there. The child will be delighted. Come up with a fairy tale that clothes and various objects live in houses, and in the evenings they return to their places and go to bed. When playing, the child will easily learn anything, including arranging things on the shelves.
