Help keep kid-friendly things easily accessible

Let the kids help in the kitchen! When their things are easily accessible, it’s easier for them to get into a routine on their own. Encourage them to get their own dinnerware for meals or even pack their own snacks for school.

Clear bins are a great addition to the drawer, as well, and these bins are stackable so everything is easy to grab and refill when needed. They’re amazing to use for fridge organization, too!

3. Make school snacks from bulk

Most (if not all) schools are allergen-free, which sometimes make finding appropriate snacks hard to find. Buying snack items in bulk and putting them together yourself help keeps things fresh and you’ll always know what your family is eating. The Learner Observer loves chocolate-covered raisins, yoghurt-covered raisins, and pretzels – and so do we! Store school snacks in these eco-friendly reusable silicone bags.

4. Keep your kids close, and your cleaning supplies, too
