Shironda's Ideas For Toy Storage: Tidy Up After Playtime
Posted January 11, 2016
A few birthday presents and hand-me-downs can quickly escalate to a hurricane of playthings around the home. How can you rein in the clutter in style while keeping your kids' toys readily available for playtime? Invest in space-saving storage solutions for every last doll or action figure.
Kids love using vertical, basket-style holders that let them easily grab and stow their favorite toys. Young book lovers are sure to appreciate a children's book shelf to protect their picture books until story time. For everything from toy cars to building blocks, choose a large shelving unit with slide-out bins that you can label to organize different types of toys.
For toy storage in the living room and other common areas, go for storage solutions that blend into your existing home decor. Neutral-colored vertical cabinets with hinged or sliding doors keep playthings out of sight, and shelving units with cubbies can stow backpacks, school supplies and bulkier toys. Whatever toy storage solutions you choose from the hand-picked collection of products from Office Depot, remember to show your kids how to carefully stow items in the right place to teach them the value of organization and cleaning up.
Pick Up and Pack Up
Choose large plastic bins to keep costumes and full playsets together. Opt for smaller plastic storage boxes to store collections such as building blocks, doll accessories or action figures.
Storage Cut to Size
Age-appropriate classroom and playroom storage solutions empower children to take care of their own belongings. Choose cubbies that let you separate different kids' belongings, or encourage younger children to pick up and also practice reading with storage options that use labels.
An End to Clutter
Freestanding wardrobes give plenty of enclosed storage so you can remove clutter from beds and floors easily. Many children's wardrobes have adjustable shelving and racks to let kids reach their treasures.
