Neat Storage Ideas

Hang On
If your kid can't reach the rod in her closet, try these long-neck hangers. She'll feel more independent. Bonus: no more excuses for forgetting to hang up her jacket! $25 for a set of 20; ezeehanger.net. (top left)

Bright Foot Forward
The prettiest shoe organizer you've ever seen holds up to 20 pairs of sneakers, boots, and ballet flats. Leave a few pockets open for storing a Barbie or two. $24; roomitup.com. (top center)

Snapped Up
Instead of cramming play purses, costume jewelry, and headbands onto a shelf, hang them neatly on the Handy Hold All, which has snap-together loops for all her stuff. $30; simplysarahshaw.com. (top right)

Soft Touch
Canvas Pop Bins fit nicely in small spaces. Load them up with blankets or off-season clothes. $48 for large, $28 for small; loomlife.com. (bottom left)
