End Date: April 9
Les Mess, organizing cards for kids (ages 5-12), will help get their room and your house organized and clutter-free.
Shuffle the cards, pick one and do what is on the card. Each card has a time limit on it. If you finish in time you get a prize (Mom and Dad do this part), and there are cards with ideas of great prizes. These prizes do not bring more clutter into the house.
These organizing cards teach children to put things away, what to keep and what to toss. They will learn through getting organized, how to sort and will create a habit of picking up every day. After all, isn’t teaching our kids how to be organized and clutter-free a part of being a parent…and sometimes learning should be fun too! It’s NOT just a game, it’s a way of life.
My Thoughts
What a genius idea and one that I have always needed help with. I think I didn’t teach my two oldest enough about cleaning up and organizing their things, but with these cards I can teach my toddler how to get a head start and hopefully develop something that will stay with her forever. And I love the rules of this game; shuffle the cards, pick one, and do it! Brilliant 
I have played this with my daughter and she loves it. The first thing she picked was to put all her books in the proper place, and she went all by herself all around the house and got her bookshelf in order, I was so proud of her! She even pulled the card that said she was queen for the day and that I had to clean her room! She really got a kick out of that. I am liking these cards and I recommend them to everyone trying to teach their children the wonders of organizing their things.
I have been given the opportunity to host a giveaway of one deck of Les Mess cards for one Dirty Shirt reader to win. Please see rules below to enter to win today!

I wish my kids would clean up their toys after they’re done instead of leaving them on the floor while moving on to the next box of toys to scatter about.

I wish my kids would keep their desks clean! They keep doing their homework sitting on the floor or bed instead.

I wish they would put their toys away.
I wish my girls would pick up their toys. My house is small and there are toys everywhere. It seems as though I spend most of my time putting toys in toy boxes.

Just pick up whatever you are done playing with DADGUMIT and put it back where it was! It’s that simple! Really!

The one chore I wish my daughter would do consistently is put things away after she has used them. This is a big problem in our household. Maybe someday

I really wish my son would pick up after himself. He leaves his toys and clothes laying around everywhere and I have to constantly ask him to pick them up and often end up picking them up myself.

I wish they would remember to pick up after themselves. Somedays are fine other days I can always find them by following a trail of clothes, toys, etc!!
When I ask about it I usually get either the blank look or they say they are “too busy!!”
