There are a number of ways to store and organize toys for a clutter-free home.
Toy storage not only organizes our homes, it also educates our children. Toys left unattended can get broken or cause an accident if someone trips over them. With all the toy-storage options available, you can keep control of the clutter, avoid accidents and teach children responsibility in the process. Storage options range from economical to very pricey. When seeking out toy-storage options, consider safety first. Make sure there are safety latches in place on heavy lids, for example, so they do not fall on or pinch little fingers. Does this Spark an idea?
Wooden Boxes
Boxes made of wood to match the existing decor not only look beautiful but also keep things organized. Toy-storage boxes are available in several types of wood such as oak and cherry or come painted in a solid color or with designs. Some even have padded seats.
Bins
Durable clear or colored plastic bins are great for larger toys. Local toy stores, department stores and dollar stores, as well as online shops, carry a large selection of sizes and shapes with or without lids. Small plastic bins for small toys, crayons, pencils, puzzles and art supplies work well when sitting on a low shelf within easy reach of a child. Some storage bins stack and include rollers on the bottom bins for easy maneuverability.
Fabric-Covered Boxes
Fabric boxes come in an array of colors that can fit into any decor. Some have a label holder on the end to help organize. Small toys fit into these storage containers nicely. Fabric totes with decals of dinosaurs and other creatures that include special net sides for holding small toys are perfect for toddlers. Hampers and Bongo Buddies make perfect toy-storage solutions that will keep curious minds interested in organization.
Organizers
Organizers made with wood, metal or plastic frames and hold bins make organizing easy. The shelves and the bins come in a multitude of colors that will satisfy any child. Barbie, Cinderella, Spider-man, Batman and other themes are available. Organizers include a combination of small bins and large bins. Bookcases with bins, shallow tray organizers and other bin solutions will easily keep a room clutter-free.
Under-Bed Storage
A large wooden drawer under the bed is an excellent storage option for larger toys. Large, shallow plastic containers with rollers on the bottom also fit nicely under a bed.
Plastic Containers
Plastic containers are available everywhere, and they make a very inexpensive way to keep clutter contained. Sizes, shapes and color choices allow anyone who is creative to make some of the best toy-storage containers fun for the kids.
Wicker Baskets
Long wicker baskets make storing dolls and stuffed animals cute and easy for little kids to reach.
