How to Organize American Girl Doll Shoes
Playtime is an important part of a child’s life and a time for Mom to get some of her work done but the cleaning up after play can be frustrating for both Mom and child. Getting an organized system makes clean up easier for everyone.
Very small toys make clean up more difficult as the little pieces seem to go everywhere. Doll shoes are one of those items that seem to be all over the place. And it seems that one a doll shoe is misplaced, they tend to be lost. You can save time, money and ease your frustrations if you have a plan for sorting and organizing the doll shoes.
Some idea that might help:
1. A plastic toolbox that which has compartments approximately 3 inches or larger in width or length is a good investment. American girl doll shoes are approximately 2 inches in length. Home improvement stores such as Home Depot and Lowes will have several styles of inexpensive tool boxes.
2. Craft supply stores such as AC Moore and Michaels are also good sources for plastic containers with small divisions. Many of this containers are clear plastic which is ideal since you can readily see the contents in the box and quickly find items you might be looking for.
3. A jewelry bag made for holding necklaces and bracelets is perfect for doll shoes. They are usually clear plastic with small divisions and are often on a coat hanger. Put the doll shoes and hang in a closet or on a door and a quick fix for those little items that would otherwise be all over the floor. The jewelry bags are sold in most department stores.
4. Consider a plastic shoe box – no they are not as good as the organizers mentioned above but they will keep the shoes together and they tend to cost relatively little – maybe 99 cents if you shop smart. Find them easily at dollar stores.
5. If you are looking for the thriftiest method of organizing doll shoes, select one of your old purses or handbags that you are no longer using and have your child decorate it with glitter, pins, and label it ‘shoe bag’. This will be a fun project and cost basically nothing! Perfect for a rainy day!
Whatever you decide to use for organizing your child’s American Girl doll shoes, seriously consider having your child ‘buy into’ the project so that she will want to organize these accessories just as much as you do. It will make ‘tidy up time’ ever so much quicker and easier!
Good Luck with organizing your American Doll shoes!
