Kids love toys, from boys to girls, parents must have bought plenty of them from childhood to adulthood; even adults enjoy them, often unable to resist trying their luck at claw machines whenever they pass by. If lucky enough to grab one, the sense of victory is enough to bring joy for a while. But here comes the issue, how to store all these toys, big and small? This article will share some clever tips on how to organize different toys or items, so you won’t waste money in the future.
Considering the frequency of use and compressibility of stuffed animals, you can easily assemble a stuffed animal storage rack on the wall using a few wooden boards. This method saves more space than storage boxes, making it convenient for children to access their toys—it’s like having a zoo at home. Another option is using hanging storage, where you hang the stuffed animals. The most frustrating part of stuffed animal storage is often the mess they create when scattered all over the floor. By making full use of vertical space, you can effectively address this issue. Alternatively, you can use storage fabric bags hung on the door to save even more space.
If you’re someone who enjoys hands-on activities, you might want to try this advanced version of a doll garland.
The making process is very simple. Choose a rope or chain and find clips with holes at the ends. Thread the rope through the hole in the clip, tie a knot, and then repeat this process at intervals. If using a chain, use loops to attach the clips to the chain.
Then clip the dolls onto the clips, and your doll garland is complete. You can hang it on hooks or let it dangle down from the ceiling.
Many children enjoy drawing and painting, and there are often a lot of different types of brushes in the house: crayons, colored pencils, oil brushes, watercolor brushes, and gouache, among others. To organize the brushes, transparent containers are suitable, such as transparent drawer boxes or glass storage jars. This makes it easy for children to quickly access and categorize their brushes, and it’s much cleaner than just throwing them all in a drawer.
Some toys are relatively small in size, such as toy cars and Ultraman dolls that are no larger than the palm of a hand. These toys do not belong to a specific series, making them difficult to categorize. Storing them in storage boxes may not fully utilize the space, so using small buckets for storage is more convenient.
If a child enjoys playing with LEGO, you can create a LEGO workstation at home, mimicking a LEGO store. The tabletop of the workstation allows children to build with LEGO bricks, while several drawers under the table can be used to store LEGO pieces.
In a room with a bay window, you can create a display cabinet along the perimeter of the bay window, making it convenient for children to store picture books or toys. Additionally, it’s a good idea to make the most of the space under the child’s bed. Opt for a bed with storage space underneath if possible. Some children’s beds are designed with pull-out drawers, which are convenient for storing large track-based games.
