Toy Storage - Where Do You Keep Them?

Toy Storage Systems

• Use cardboard boxes. Paint them in bright colors or cover them with wrapping paper to improve the look. These won't last long, but they are very cheap and most houses have a dozen of them.
• Build your own wood toy storage unit. You could also add bits and pieces to an existing bookcase. Paint it in a bright color to finish it off - or add pictures if you.
• Keep the boxes that the toys come in. These can be used to store all the little pieces that come with a toy.
• Hang up some rope and use pegs to peg stuffed toys onto it. This not only creates a visual effect, but it keeps stuffed toys well out of the way.
• Shop in second-hand stores or flea markets for old magazine racks, chests, bookcases and small containers. Paint them in your child's favorite colors. You can even get your child to help.
• Raid your kitchen. Tupperware containers, old pots and mixing bowls can be used for storage purposes.
• Baskets. These are great for smaller toys and for use in car toy storage.
