Depending on the age of your children, and their ability to stay organized, you may need to use a lot or a few of these back to school organization tips. Evaluate your family’s needs and your children’s personalities when deciding upon back to school organization solutions. It might also be a good idea to have your children tell you what they feel they need help with organizing, and then you can find a solution that helps with that issue.

14 Useful Back to School Organization Ideas

Even if your home is small or you don’t feel like you have space to include homeschool organization or homework stations you can. There are several ideas that don’t take a lot of space. Consider these ideas:

  • Use a closet. If you have a closet that can be transformed, that is a great space to add shelving or cubes to store items. If the closet is large, you may even be able to add more homework items like posters and graphs. Obviously, the closet isn’t going to be a space that the kids work in, but it’s great for organizing.
  • A corner can be nice. If you have an area in your home that has a corner, adding a corner desk would be ideal. You can add some shelving and create an inviting workspace.
  • Use shoe organizers, totes, or other items to organize. Any of these items can be found inexpensively at your local dollar store and can be used to store paper, crayons, markers, or other supplies.
