Seriously great toy storage solutions do NOT need to be fancy or expensive and they do NOT need to take up half your living room!!
The genius toy storage idea I have for you here truly delivers on this as it is:
- Cheap as chips
- Stupidly simple
- And saves space.
BUT even better than that it :
- Helps your rotate toys
- Makes tidying up a breeze
- AND keeps the toys that go together, together so they actually get played with much, much more!!
This last benefit is a huge win for all those toy collections that get scattered everywhere e.g.
- Toy cars & trucks
- Duplo & lego
- Bricks
- Train tracks
- Marble runs
- Meccano
- Farms & zoos
- Musical instruments
- PLUS soft toys.
For less than $10 you - and even tiny kids - will be able to tidy toys up together easily so you no longer break your ankle near daily tripping over them on the living room floor!!
So what is this genius toy storage idea that will conquer your clutter?
It is simply zip up laundry bags!!
They are sturdy enough to hold bulky toys but allow you and your kids to see easily what is in the bag.
At tidy up time whizz around with little kids to put the right things in the right bag - a great sorting game - and then chuck in a cupboard.
Or for a Montessori approach put up hooks in kids bedrooms or playroom to hang the bags from so they are :
- Visible
- Accessible
- BUT still tidy!!
You can buy a set or 2 online or pick them up at a local store. Just make sure the set includes :
- A range of sizes
- Enough big bags for bulky toys
- But NOT the enormous sacks little kids won't be able to handle.
And there you go, a super simple toy storage idea with huge impact for happier kids and a tidier home.
