Inside: Tips for organizing school uniforms. Organize all of the clothes needed for each day and make mornings much easier!

Easy technique for organizing school uniforms for youngsters so they can dress themselves in the mornings.

Are you looking for ways to help your little one get dressed independently? If you’re like many parents, one of the biggest stumbling blocks is having clothing readily available for kids to put on. Unless I set out specific outfits, our sons usually put together some very interesting clothing combinations! Usually I just let them where whatever they have decided to put on, but with the school year fast approaching, I wanted to put together a more organized system to help them get ready on their own in the mornings.

Our sons go to a school with uniforms, and I’m always unsure if I have clean uniforms for them to wear each day. In an effort to be more organized about school uniforms, I bought each child a hanging organizer for his closet.

Using a hanging storage piece to organize school uniforms.
The organizer we used was small enough to hang on the bottom closet rod.

 

I hung the organizer from a lower closet rod so the kids would be able to easily reach it. Then, I filled each compartment with a complete outfit for the day. I included everything they need for their school uniform:

  • Polo shirt
  • Pants
  • Sweater or sweatshirt
  • Socks and underclothes

A complete outfit in each compartment. School uniform organization for the week.

Although our kids still need some assistance in getting dressed, this makes it much easier for them to start to get ready in the morning.

It’s also helpful to me because I can glance at their clothing organizer and see if they are in need of more school uniforms for the coming days. For us, it's a great method for organizing school uniforms.

School uniform organization for all of the days of the week.

 

Although we are using our organizers for school uniforms, it could also be used for regular outfits too. Once children understand that they can get their outfits from the organizer, they’ll be able to start getting dressed on their own. To test out this system, I started putting regular outfits in the organizer so our boys could get used to the idea of grabbing their clothing from it.

Our sons don’t completely understand the concept of the days of the week, but I’d eventually like to add some days of the week labels to the compartments. That might help them to build awareness of the days of the week, and attach more meaning to them.

  2. Love your idea! I have the hanging organizers in my kids closets attempting to use them for clothes for the day. My problem is my 4yr old still goes to her dresser! Or she will get part from the organizer and part from the dresser. Have yours done this? Any suggestions? Thanks!

    1. Hi Jeniece! Hmmmm…I’m not sure, and I’m certainly not a parenting expert. Maybe you could put something for her to “find” at the bottom of her stack of clothes like a small sticker? That way, if she pulled everything out to wear, she’d find her sticker. Breaking the habit of going to the dresser is hard. It’s hard for me too if I rearrange where I put things. It probably will just take some time to get used to.

  4. I love this idea! I have 4 kids wearing school uniforms this year. Unfortunately, I don’t have the same kind of closet space, however, I think I may be able to do something similar for my middle son and youngest one.
