The Shelf in My Pantry for the Girl's Dishes

These are the pictures of the shelf in the pantry that is for the girls to put away their own dishes and to be able to reach the dishes to set the table. I still have to get out Daddy's and my plates for them to set. BUT it is so nice that they are able to help unload the dishwasher, help set the table, and it is so cute that when we have guests over and my dd offer them a drink, they can goto the pantry and get one of their cups to fill with water for the guest.

Ignore the rest of the pantry as it really needs to be delucttered (see previous post).

I never thought about it when my girls were growing up, but my daughter had her girls putting silverware away from the dishwasher and they were able to get dishes out of the cupboard at a really early age. My oldest was cooking ramen noodles (a favorite) in the microwave when she was five!! It's great when they learn to do things early!

I love this idea. I have a bottom cabinet where I have all of the bowls and plates my boys use. When it is time to eat, it makes them feel so big to be able to get their own plates and silverware.
