Printable Days of the Week Tags for Organizing Kids Closets
Posted by Amy | Filed under Amy's Printables, Home & Decorating
Here is an idea I came up with to keep my son organized and ready for school. We picked out clothes for each day of the week and hung them on a low rack for him to reach. Then I designed some cute tags to hang on each outfit. Each tag has the day of the week.
The night before school, my son takes the outfit off the hangers and puts it on the floor by his door. This way he won’t forget to get dressed before coming downstairs. We usually make silly poses with the clothes and that makes it even more fun!
**Update**
Thanks to everyone who has linked to this download!! Please visit my shop to purchase these fun printables in primary or pastel colors.
(If you have clicked here from a site featuring this as a free download, sorry that freebie has expired. You can purchase the tags here at a very affordable price. – Thank you!)

I adore these tags, but what am I doing wrong? I can’t get the second tag to print (only Monday, Wednesday & Friday – Tuesday gets cut in half). I’ve tried shrink to fit and adjusting the size, etc but still same results – please help if you can!

These are great! With two working parents and two boys under 4 yrs old, organization is key in the mornings. Having the boys’ clothes ready to go and labeled for every day is really a help, especially when dad is in charge of dressing them. My husband is so happy I’ve made his life a little easier – with your help of course. Thanks for the freebie!

Hi, I figured it out to get it into .pdf and it was in paper size so I was able to print them with no problems. What I did was click on the link given and it’ll take you to the Scribd (that’s where I couldn’t get it in paper size) so I clicked on “daystags_brights” in grey on upper left corner of the screen and it’ll take you to .pdf. Hope this helps those who couldn’t print them off right from Scribd.
Thank you still for these cute printables!
Thanks Jenny! I think that is the problem… people aren’t opening the file. I wrote instructions in the post. Glad you got them to print:-) -Amy

I just finished making a set of these in Pastels. I printed them out on 28 lb. paper since I don’t have any card stock handy, laminated them with clear contact paper and trimmed to size. Perfect! I anticipate that these will be a great help to us. Thank you! (Then I noticed that there’s no Sunday! I would LOVE a matching Sunday tag. . .)

I love this idea! My sis actually taught me something similar several years back, but we used hanging baskets. I love the tag idea! It takes up less space and the kids learn the days of the week as well! Not to mention it will help all the kids be more responsible. Thanks for the download!
Will you be making a Sunday tag? I noticed people posted about it. I would LOVE to have a Sunday tag too!! Please oh please
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Saw these on both On the Dot and One Pretty Thing, so figured it’s high time I print them for my clothes-horse daughter who can make a career out of choosing her outfit in the morning!
And if you make a Sunday tag, I’d print 2 — one for church and one for play clothes after…
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Great idea! I use the hanging closet organizers, and I’ve found how much less my kids argue about what to wear. I choose what goes with what, and they choose what day of the week they want to wear it. Everyone’s happy!

Love the Tags! Love them. I was wondering if you ever thought about making some for teenagers or adults. Sounds silly – but I think something in a large Damask for Women, or Houndstooth or Tweed for Men would be totally cool! Let me know what you think and if you think about doing it.
Also – I’m having a giveaway at my blog…please stop by and enter. If you want to mention it on your blog…I’d appreciate it as I’m just starting to blog and create again (I’ve been terminally ill for 18 months). Thanks!

Oh bummer. Especially since that’s probably why a lot of people linked to your post. I’m saddened by your decision not to offer them for free after so many others linked to your post, probably because they were free. Just seems a little funny to take advantage of the publicity others are giving you for free by no longer making the printable available for free. Anyway, it’s not a big deal and I know we’re all trying to earn a little extra, but it just made me disappointed. Sorry for the bummer comment. Best of luck in selling them.

@Katie,
Sorry to disappoint, where have you seen this featured recently? Hopefully they read my post to know that this is not a free download. From what I’ve seen, it’s been well over a year since they were featured anywhere. Maybe I missed something? I’m certainly not taking advantage. I created this design two years ago and my readers enjoyed them for free for well over a year.
Everything in my shop is very affordable and much less than what you might find in other printable shops similar to mine. Hope you decide to purchase. They are very helpful items for me at least:-)
Thanks!
