My kids love the snow - they’d stay outside all day if I let them!  While I love to see them happy, I do NOT love mounds of hats, gloves, boots, jackets, and snow pants which end up all over the floor. 
​
To stop these items from drifting all over your house, follow these simple tips:
​

Bins & Drawers
*Provide each member of the family with a labeled, plastic bin/drawer for his/her hats, gloves, etc.  If the bin is large enough, snow pants and jackets can go in there as well (hang wet items to dry before putting them back in the bin).   
*Label separate bins or drawers for different items - hats in one, gloves and mittens in another, boots in a third. 
*Store the items where they are easily accessible - in a closet, mudroom, or entryway.  Bins can be stored on shelves or under a bench; basic plastic drawers can be hidden in a closet.

​Use the pockets to store gloves, hats, scarves, and extra socks.
Use what you have! 
Keep it simple and store gloves in coat pockets; hang earmuffs and scarves on hangers.
