Toy Storage
With the holidays almost wrapping up and all of the gifts you bought your little ones, toy storage is top of mind.
How on earth am I going to store all of these little pieces and keep them organized? We polled our community on the type of toy storage solutions you were looking for and have so many great recommendations. We ordered all of these items and personally tried them out for you to ensure they were good solutions, we of course even kept a handful ourselves because they were so useful.
See how we used each item in our spaces!
Reminder that everyone’s space is completely different, so we tried to find solutions that would fit for most. There are a lot of different size options available in the items we ordered so make sure you check those out and select what works for your space!
