Entertain & Educate

Toys are a great way to entertain and educate. Usually, kids have lots of toys. After play, it is essential to have a handy toy storage system to put away and store the toys. It is not necessary to use up lots of storage space to store toys, or spend tons of money to build up toy storage options.

There are numerous ways to organize your child's toy collection. For instance, you can invest in a toy organizer. This could involve anything from a toy chest to a toy crate. An organizer can be a colorful, practical way to keep toys tidy. Another option is to invest in a child's desk that has plenty of drawer space. You should try to find a desk that will really grow along with your child.

If you are looking for a unique toy storage idea, you have come to the right place. There is no need for storage to be dull. With an assortment of book, craft, and toy storage bins, you can keep your child’s room looking orderly, yet fun. The right toy storage solution might vary from room to room and household to household, but here are a few ideas for keeping your toys tidy:

The Classic Toy Box

A standard toy chest can be a wonderful toy storage system. It keeps toys in one place, so your child’s favorite dolls and games are kept secure. Thanks to some innovative designs, toy boxes are now more interesting to look at than ever before. You can find boxes with sports themes, animal themes, and Disney themes.

Laundry Hampers are a great way to store toys. They do not occupy too much space, are readily available, and don't really stand out in the house. It is easy to scoop up toys and toss them into the laundry hampers where they can be stored until it is time to play with them again.

Bath Tub Toy Storage

It is important that you find appropriate bath toy storage. Unfortunately, because of their exposure to the water, bath toys can easily become bacteria-ridden. Therefore, be sure to purchase storage tubs for your child’s bathtub supplies. The storage bins will provide an effective way for your bath toys to dry out between washings.

Hidden Storage Possibilities

Another option is to use the space underneath a bed. A rolling basket for toys and games can easily fit under your child’s sleeping space. You can usually fit two baskets underneath a twin bed or standard crib. The advantage to such baskets is that, when they are rolled out from beneath the bed, your child’s toys can be easily seen. In other words, your son or daughter does not have to hunt through a toy chest to find the right toy.

And few more

Don't toss out those big packing boxes your kids big sized toys come in. They can be easily dressed up in colorful wrapping paper and made into a handy toy storage bin for your kid's toys. This can be a fun craft project idea for your kids to do too, and they will enjoy storing their toys in something which they have made themselves.

Toy Chests and Toy Boxes are nice for toy storage, though they do require an initial investment. However, after your child grows up, they can be used to store things other than toys.

Play Pens are ideal for storing toys after your child finishes playing with them! Just toss the toys into the play pen after playtime is over, and they are safely enclosed within. After playtime, smaller kids will not be able to reach for the toys inside the playpen, avoiding any potential for mess making.

Design Ideas

Consider Hanging it Up

You may not realize it yet, but a laundry bag can be an excellent childcare toy storage article. However, be sure to choose one that has a snap or Velcro fastener rather than a cord. You can then attach hooks or pegs to a wall and hang up the bag of toys. Do not hang the bag too high, though—you will want to make sure that your toddler can reach it.

Empty plastic containers around the house are a handy way to store little things such as crayons, stickers, playdoh, bits and pieces, art and craft supplies and more.

Here's a link to some toy boxes I designed and built for my two sons a couple of years ago - they are a fire truck and recycling truck theme. Really good for toy storage too.

Just to the right of the paragraph "classic toy boxes" there is an image of a metal frame rolling art cart. Where is it from? I have searched and can't find one like it and it is exactly what I want.
