10 Sneaky Places To Stuff Your Clutter Before Guests Come Over
You will likely find Legos in your house at some point in your parenting journey. Whether you purchased them for your kids yourself, or they were gifted them, or they just magically ended up in your child’s bedroom. While they are a super fun toy, they can be frustrating to store. The following are Lego storage ideas to help you get organized and stop stepping on Lego pieces!
1. Draw String Play Mat
If you haven’t seen these new playmats, they are amazing. It’s basically a large play mat with a drawstring around it so that the kids can play with the Legos or other toys, and when they’re done, they can just pull the drawstring, and the mat turns into a bag that holds all the toys. There is no need for storage drawers, bins, or any large space!
These drawstring mats come in all different sizes. They even make small ones that people use for toiletries and bags when traveling. They also have some attached to a small storage bin so that the bag just tucks away in the tote. Shop around to find the one you like best.
2. Organizational Cube With Fabric Drawers
Cube organizers have become very popular for storage and organization. They come in many shapes and sizes and are generally pretty affordable. You can also get fabric fold-out drawers that fit perfectly inside them, which would be great for storing Legos.
3. Large Plastic Tubs
An easy, low-maintenance way of storing your children’s Legos might just be to get a large tote or plastic tub and throw all the Legos in there. Although, there are pros and cons to this. If you have a massive tub of Legos, it will be a lot to clean up when they’re done. But if you’re just throwing it all back into the tub, it should be relatively quick and easy to pick up. This might be a great starter option if you’re trying to get your kids to pick up after themselves.
4. Multiple Small Plastic Tubs
You can get multiple smaller tubs to sort the Legos into if you want to get a little more organized than one big plastic tub. Maybe you sort them by color or just split them up so when the kids get bored of one set, you can swap them out for a different tub.
5. An Over-the-Door Shoe Organizer
The plastic/fabric over the door shoe organizer has become a popular organization and storage tool for many things besides shoes. Some great things to store are Legos, Barbie dolls, toy kitchen food, utensils, etc. The options are endless!
6. Lego Storage Cinch Bucket
Lego makes several storage containers for their products, one being the cinch bucket. It is simply a fabric bucket with a drawstring top that allows you to close it so the Legos can’t fall out.
7. Rolling Plastic Drawers/Carts
Another popular organizational tool is the plastic roll-around carts and drawers. You can find these just about anywhere; they come in tons of different shapes and sizes. Shop around for one that fits your space well.
8. An Underbed Rolling Storage Bin
There are many different types of under-bed storage to choose from, but one that rolls is definitely easier for kids. Storing Legos under the bed is a great idea, as they can take up quite a bit of space, and under the bed is wasted space that could be used. It’s the ultimate space-saver!
9. Tot Tutors Highlight Kids Toy Storage Organizer
This toy storage is very popular in schools, daycares, etc. It’s one of many great storage options for Legos. It’s cute and easy to move around and find space for. It would make a great Lego storage, as well as many other small toys!
10. Stack and Carry Organizer Boxes
If you want to keep your kid’s Legos a bit more organized or sorted, it is a good idea to break them up into a few different containers. A set of stackable organizer boxes would work great for this. You can get out or take with you as many as you want, and they are easy to carry. Many of these plastic storage containers are clear storage boxes, which is great for knowing what’s inside each bin without having to open them and go through them.
