Storage Ideas for Toys
Chances are that after the holiday season, your house has a lot more toys in it than it did a few months ago and that you needstorage options for all those toys. Here are some of our favourite storage ideas for toys.
One of the most classic options for storing toys is a toy box. A toy box can grow with your child because it’s not designed with any particular toys in mind. Given their versatility, it’s also easy to find a toy box to suit your needs, whether it’s one that matches the rest of your furniture or a unique custom design just for your child. Arundel based furniture maker, Fletcher and Mills, offer beautiful wooden toy boxes in several colours that can be easily engraved with your child’s name or anything else you want.
Another popular toy storage option is cube storage. You can find cube shelves in all different dimensions, so they’re sure to fit your space perfectly. These are another great option if you’re looking to match existing furniture you own because they come in a range of neutral colours. You can customise the look of your unit using cubes in an endless array of colours and patterns. A major benefit to using cube storage is that each bin can be used for a different toy set or category like cars or blocks. This can help keep both your kid’s toys and your home organised by limiting the number of cubes out at one time, forcing regular clean up in order to keep playing. Ikea’s every popular Kallax units are a fantastic example of cube storage which offer great quality along side a great price.
Similar to cube storage is tub storage. What sets this option apart is that the tubs are usually at an angle, which means that even small children can see what is inside the tub. This is great for kids who can’t read yet so that they aren’t just pulling random tubs out trying to find a specific toy or tub as well as offering all the same benefits of cube storage.
If you’re looking for more unique storage ideas for toys, there is no shortage of options out there. One of the most functional ways to store toys is an ottoman. They’re easy to open so that kids can access their toys themselves and they also serve as a comfy seat or footrest when they’re in the closed position.
If you’re looking for a more unique way to store toys, you can use wicker baskets that come in fun shapes like your child’s favourite animal. Websites like Etsy have endless possibilities for designs like these as well as other customisations.
No matter what toy storage option you end up with, it’s guaranteed to help keep your house organised and avoid meltdowns when your kids can’t find their favourite toy. We know how important their favourite toy is to them, so why not bring it with you the next time you come for your photography session at Cosy Toes? It’s a simple way to keep your child happy and occupied and also to mark the passage of time and remember their favourite toy at each age.
