Creative Toy Storage System
For Organizing Child Toys

There are many ways to store toys. You don't have to adhere to the standard toy storage system namely toy chest, toy shelf and toy bins. Be creative and use whatever available in your home for organizing toys.

Here are some ideas on how and where you can store toys:

• Recycle as many container of various sizes as you can including shoe boxes, empty plastic diaper wipe containers, tuppleware containers, oatmeal tin, coffee tin, biscuit containers, ice cream containers and margarine containers. You can then put them in a toy chest, in a drawer or on a toy shelf to organize small items and parts including small cars, Little-People kind of toys, beads, and crayon.
  
  
• Use shoe bags to hang small items such as bean bag animals and small dolls. Hang them on closet or room doors.
  
  
• Use fabrics as a hammock to hang stuffed toys.
  
  
• Use big boxes to store big items like trucks, ball and big stuff animals. Photocopy paper box or Rubbermaid big box with either a snap-on lid or zigzag lock are good toy storage system for storing such toys.
  
  
• Make a drop bag to store interlocking blocks or building blocks. Here is how to make one:
  • make a circle from fabrics with 44" or 60" in diameter (depending on the width of the fabric).
  • Make a casing surrounding the perimeter of the fabric. Insert nylon string. The length of the rope should be approximately the same as the perimeter of the fabric. Tie the end of the rope together. .
  • Tell your child to play on that fabric when she is playing with blocks.
  • When your child finishes playing, pull the string. The blocks will be automatically contained in the bag.
  • Hang the bag on a peg.
  
  
  
• Hang plastic buckets with handles on pegs for small toys or pieces.
  
  
• Get a wire rack organizer and hang it on a closet door.
  
  
• Use suitcases to store toys which are not used frequently -- store them underneath the bed.
  
  
• Invest on plastic or wire chest of drawers. If the drawer is small enough, small items like toy cars can go straight into there. Unlike bins,this toy storage system gives almost no chance for the toy to become spilled.
  
  
• Get nice wicker baskets for both practical and decorative function . You can put them on a shelf and they will function like a drawer. Or you can just place them in a prominent place and arrange the stuffed toys neatly in them. Wicker basket is a very neat and artistic way to store toys.
