Trying to get a husband and preschooler out the door and locating EVERYONE'S SHOES at the same time can be HECTIC!!!! So, I purchased some wooden bins@ Michael's Craft Stores that you can STACK from [they're supposed to be bins for toys,but I use them for shoes right next to the exit door from the house[within garage]. Each person has their own bin {they're deep} .
MORE INFORMATION:
This way when we enter the house we can leave our shoes OUT---ready for pick up in the morning. And everyone can find his/her shoes when NEEDED!!!
Preschooler Tip~ Putting on Shoes in The Right Order!
To help my preschooler learn to put his shoes on correctly,I write on the left shoe L =1 which means LEFT .The #1 is for counting order --to help him remember 1 is FIRST . Then , when he puts on the RIGHT shoe, it is marked R=2,which means RIGHT. The #2 is for SECOND.
MORE INFORMATION:
Now when he puts his shoes on,he is practicing LEFT,RIGHT and counting 1,2. He doesn't always get it correctly ,but he IS LEARNING EACH TIME when he is putting on his shoes !
