Organize Your Kids This Summer
by Barbara Myers - barbmyers@adelphia.net

Description: Ideas for organizing your kids this summer.

As your children enjoy their warm-weather playtime outdoors, try these tips to keep them safe and organized.

1. Place a large plastic container on your back porch or deck. Make sure it's big enough to hold all their outdoor toys. Insist on a daily clean-up time.

2. Fill a cooler with ice, drinks, snacks and wipes so kids won't need to go in and out of the house as much.

3. Set up an "outdoor supply box" filled with hats, sunscreen, sunglasses, flip flops, towels, bug repellent and a small first aid kit. Keep it near the door.

4. Keep sand and water outside by placing a mat and tub for soiled shoes and clothes near the door.

5. Store a tire pump and wrench near kids' bicycles. Teach kids how to inspect their bicycles weekly.
