Get the kids ready to return to school with a smart 'getting-ready place'. Starting school brings home lots of new activities – and lots of stuff to go along with it. To help kids get organised easier, a good idea is to put together a getting ready space by your front door. Think about setting it up with low, easy-to-reach hooks for bags and coats, a spot to put on and store shoes and drawers to catch extra gear like sports things, keys or extra clothes.
