Choosing Children’s Clothes Hangers

Choosing the right children’s clothes hangers for the child in your life can be difficult. There are so many designs and materials to choose from. Does it really matter which one you pick? Yes, in fact it does. There are a few things to consider when looking at all of your children’s clothes hanger options.

Kids’ clothing costs a lot. They outgrow everything so fast that you end up buying a new wardrobe every season of the year. The last thing you need is to have to buy more due to damage by shotty hangers. Investing a small amount in some high-quality childrens hangers can not only save your child’s clothes, but keep them in great shape for resale or hand-me-downs.

Tiered hangers are great for saving space and also for having complete outfits ready at a moment’s notice. A five tiered hanger is great for getting school clothes ready for the week. Kid’s clothes are so much smaller than adult’s clothing, that you can easily hang five pairs of pants from the waist on a five tiered hanger. The child can reach up to the pants and pull them down all on their own. The hanger will not break or go flying, causing a hazard to the child and other garments. The clothing will simply slip out of the clips and the child is proud of getting ready all by themselves.

Wooden hangers for children are always a beautiful addition to the closet. Wooden hangers are very beautiful and durable. Smooth finishes will keep clothes from snagging, while rubber or foam grips will keep the clothes from sliding off. Wooden hangers can be monogram stamped and personalized with your child’s initials or other emblem. Wooden hangers are great heirlooms and also make uniquely useful baby shower gifts.

Glam hangers are really fun for a child’s closet. These hangers are beaded and come in a variety of colors. Color coordinating the closet with the rest of the room is a fun and exciting activity for you and your child.

If you opt for plastic or acrylic children’s clothes hangers, make sure that there are no sharp edges or seams that you can feel. These can cut little fingers and also snag expensive clothing. Make sure that you get a heavy gauge plastic or acrylic so that the hangers cannot be broken very easily. You do not want the hangers in the closet to become a hazard to the child.

Keeping in mind safety, style and how well the hangers protect the clothing will help you make the right choice when you are buying childrens clothes hangers.

Motivation for your Kid's Organization

Kid’s closets can be a real challenge. They are usually crammed with toys and clean clothes that have been pulled down off of the hangers and mixed with the dirty ones. Kids are notorious for trying on a few different outfits before they decide on one, leaving a mountain of laundry in their wake. This can be very frustrating for parents that are just trying to keep their household running smoothly. There’s nothing worse than opening your kid’s closet and discovering that everything you hung is now wrinkled up in a heap on the floor, mixed with dirty clothes, and disguising all of those little pointy toys that you are sure to step on in your attempt to fix the mess. Enough is enough already. It’s time to get in there and make a change. Your goal now is to have everything that they need within their reach and create some sort of a system that they’ll be inclined to stick to. This can be a tricky task, but not an impossible one.

Kids thrive on motivation. Keep your child’s personality in mind when tackling their closet. What makes sense to an adult may not be sensible to a child. Simple decorations or signs can motivate them to follow instructions. Try putting signs or pictures that indicate clean or dirty clothes on small laundry baskets near the closet. If they try something on and can’t reach the hanger again, then they should put it in the clean laundry basket. If they wear something for any length of time, it goes in the dirty basket. Be creative by putting a picture of your child covered in chocolate or mud on the dirty basket and an opposing picture of cleanliness, such as a bubble bath photo on the clean basket. If your child thinks that the pictures are funny, then they’re way more likely to stick to the system.

The next step is to put a low bar for hanging clothes down on their level. It’s usually a good idea to keep a high bar for things that you really don’t want them to pull down, such as dresses or suits. Installing a low bar can give them the feeling that it is something special just for them, making them proud of having the responsibility of keeping their clothes on this special bar. Use a plastic shower curtain rod cover to make it a bright color. They’re very inexpensive and can be cut to fit any hanging rod. Dress it up and stress how it’s just for them. You can even get special children’s hangers for their closet. Color coordinated children’s clothes hangers can motivate your child to keep things hung in a color pattern, such as pink, purple, blue, pink, purple, blue. The idea is to make them think that it is fun. Children’s clothes hangers are now available in beaded versions, funky shapes and colors that can make your challenge a little easier. Have fun with it and keep your child involved in the activity. You’ll have a fun project, a little bonding time and maybe make your life a little easier in the process.
