Do you do stations for all or part of your day? Is it a struggle to keep all those materials organized Then check out this nifty DIY hanging bag organizer!
It literally took 30 minutes to assemble.
Step 1: Decide how wide and tall you want it to be.
I put my organizer up on a table so my son couldn't just grab the bags and yank the whole thing down. So I measured the table top and made the base about 1 inch less than the table top width on each side.
Step 2: Buy your PVC pipes and connectors at the hardware store based on your dimensions.
Step 3: Cut your pipes.
Step 3: Build!
Step 4: Hang bags with binder clips and rings.
I used binder rings and binder clips to hang the bags.
Since some of the items I wanted to put in bags are too heavy to hang with clips and bags, there is a shelf directly above the bags. This houses two plastic containers: One with a lid, and one open.
The picture below shows the shelf with the containers on the shelf.
I hang one row in the front and one row in the back.
What system do you use to store learning materials and toys? I'd love to hear about it!

This is a really good idea. Finding enough space for everything in the a classroom is always a concern.
