Store Toys Using Toy Shelf

This system is actually better than the toy chest system since virtually 'no toys' are lost from the sight. It also offers an easy access to your child's toys. You or your child doesn't have to dig in to reach a particular toy because everything is on display and can be accessed easily.

The only drawback of using a toy shelf for organizing your child' s toys is that unless you put the shelves in a closet, the toys have to be kept reasonably neat because everything is on display.

Choosing a toy storage shelf

Here are several things to consider when choosing a toy shelf:

• If you want your children to be able to reach the toys and then put them back in themselves, then make sure that the toy shelves are low enough for them to do so. However, if you don't want your children to be able to reach several items without your consent, then the top shelf should be high enough to store such items.
• Make sure that the toy storage shelf is sturdy and won't tip over just in case your little one decides to climb on it. A built-in shelf or wall shelf (shelf well-secured to the wall) are the best since they won't tip over. Alternatively, you can always buy toy storage shelves which have to be 'hung' and secured on the wall. There is no way that your child can climb on this kind of toy shelves since the bottom shelf won't be close to the ground.

Storing child toys on a toy shelf

Which toys can be stored using a toy storage shelf ?

Plenty. Children books and big toys like stuffed toys or stuffed animal and trucks/big cars can be displayed on a child toy shelf.

In addition, if you put assorted size of small toy bins or containers on a toy shelf, they can always be used for storing small items including small cars, bean bag animals, 'Little People' kind of toy from a theme-play set and more. A wicker basket can also be be added if there is enough space for it. This kind of baskets can be used to store medium-sized toys including toddler-size balls and stuffed animal. Some stores do carry special shelves designated for storing toys. They usually come with assorted size of toy bins for storing smaller items or wicker baskets for storing slightly larger items.
