Are you frustrated from organizing your kid’s books so many times only to find that it looks like a mess a few days later? So let’s get it done!


One way is to sort books is by color. It’s simple and pretty. ( Shown above )


Yet many people prefer to sort by categories. They don’t like the idea of splitting up a series of books because the covers have different colors .


WARNING: This isn’t a quick-fix solution. This method takes TIME but is so worthwhile !


Step 1:

Decide where you are keeping books. You can either have one central place or each category in a different place.


Tip: if you are short on space, don’t waste precious closet space on books, instead purchase a bookcase for your kids books .

Here are a few of my favorite bookcases :

Step 2:

Gather together the books from all over the house to the location the books will be going


Step 3:

Sort books by categories. Then assign each category a color. For example:

Board books red

Little kids orange

Chapter books yellow

Small chapter books green

Comics blue

Adult books pink

Magazines purple


Step 4:

Use color coding labels and put a label on each book according to its color.


Step 5: Put a piece of tape or library sticker over each label so it stays put!

Let’s just do it once and for all! You’ll be glad you did!
