There are multiple ways in which you can organize your kids closet. One way is to label the shelves or drawers where you store undies, socks, t-shirts, shorts and other clothing items. The other way is to plan their outfits. Divide one part of the closet for outfits your kid will wear during the day to save time picking it out.
