How do you organise your kids' toys?
I like to have everything sorted so the kids can find each toy themselves when they want them, it's a great way of promoting independence - which frees me up a bit to do my own thing ;)
I also like storage solutions that make it easy for my 2 yr old Sophie to help put away her toys neatly.
Here are the storage solutions that work best in our house at the moment:
Sophie's bedroom - white bookcase with foldable coloured boxes (both from Go Lo).
So quick to throw the the toys into when packing up and they look so bright, cheery and tidy!
Pencil cases used to store small toys - great for holding flash cards, dominos and paper dolls.
Using the same coloured box idea on the bookshelf in the playroom.
Small box shelves for toy dishes, little people, letter blocks etc.
We use coloured tile mats to define the play area and store toys around the mats.
That's how we do it at our house :)
Here are some other cute ideas I found on Pinterest that I'll be trying in the future!

DeleteHow good is that Lego storage! I'm hoping when I do it, Sophie puts it all back away all nicely sorted too!
Hi Marissa. I've got my own thoughts on kid's toy organisation. It's just not working in my house but I love your ideas. I'm a big fan of Jen's at I Heart Organizing and just love her style. I love your blog too.
