Organising School Uniforms

Hey Guys!

When it comes to storing and sorting the kid's school uniforms, it seems we have FINALLY found what works for us!

For those who don't know, we have 4 kiddos and my mum works at the kid's school as well, so her uniforms are also stored with the kid's uniforms. 

Right next to my desk in the kid's playroom (pretty much only has Lego in it at the moment) we have a clothes rack. The only things that get put on the rack is school uniforms, shoes, the hair box (this keeps all the brushes, hair ties, head bands, etc. together in one place) and school socks. 

So here is an overview of what the uniform rack looks like and then I will talk about the sections.

We'll talk about hanging the uniforms first!

Each person has their own colour coat hanger to make it easier for them to recognise which uniforms are theirs. 

BB has pink.

Knox has blue.

TJ has purple.

Liss has white. 

Mum has black. 

Yes, they are all mixed up at this point, however, it is school holidays here and organising these is not a priority at this point :) 

The pants/skirts are all on silver hangers and they are all mixed up right now, but before school goes back for 2nd term, we will organise it better so the uniforms are grouped together. 

The spare pants hangers are kept up the top and out of the way as they get really annoying trying to get out of where the clothes are hung.

Their school shoes live down the bottom of the rack and get put there as soon as they get home from school. 

This is where all the kid's school socks are stored. 

Each child has their own basket for their school socks (ONLY) and their school hats. 

I took a chance this year only having 3 pairs of school socks for each child (last year we had a lot more than 3 pairs for each child and it drove me up the wall!), but this is actually working! I think this has been helped by me actually keeping up with the washing all year - YAY ME!) My son's futsal socks are also in here so they are easily found when needed.

Here is where all the hair stuff is kept. 

These are my favourite organisation/storage containers. These are the Sistema Klip-It containers with the tray insert included. We have several of these around the house to store various things, like Knox's BeyBlades.

Basically anything to do with hair goes in here. In the bottom we have head bands and the hair clippers my husband uses to shave his and our son's hair. While the tray holds all the hair ties (school colours and other colours), the hair brush, lice comb (I go through their hair regularly to make sure nothing got in there), bobby pins, etc. The purple spray bottle is the detangler spray for the girl's hair. 

So there you have it!

This is the way we organise our kid's school uniforms and it has worked so well for us! 

How do you store your kiddo's school uniforms?
