A Backpack Place

We're soon to be starting school again and that means bags and backpacks. Do your kids' backpacks always seem to be all over the place -- the couch, the floor, the kitchen table? Much as you may want them to, kids just usually don't take their bags to their rooms, so why not create a place for them to go that the kids might actually use.

Shelves with hooks or pegs are a great place for bags and packs. A simple shelf can be hung on walls near the door that the kids use or even placed directly on the door.


Over the door (wreath) hangers make a great place to hang backpacks on any door.

If you have the space, create shelves or cubby holes for the backpacks to go in.


Individual hooks -- decorative ones, can be hung on walls

and Command Hooks by 3M work well just about anywhere


Whatever method you use for hanging your bags and packs, the most important thing is that they are in a place that is close to where the kids come in and out of the house, they are at a height they can reach, and each person has their own hook.

You might even like one for yourself.
