I have never known him to sort anything or have an organizational system, and yet he knew exactly where everything was when he would build something. We always used the "big tub" method, but maybe it depends on the kid's preference what will work best. Is Riley a sorter or a rummager? :)mekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917552705258680396noreply@blogger.com
