No matter the size or layout of your home, toys, jackets, books and shoes tend to trickle down stairs, through doorways and into our already bursting-at-the-seams corners.

Clutter and mess can make both parents and children feel anxious, distracted and overwhelmed, which is why it’s crucial to help your kids (and yourself) stay organized. As parents who like to look out for other parents, we’re sharing our ten favorite kids toy storage products!

 

Simple storage solutions promote independence

By providing simple storage solutions like baskets or shelving, kids can gain the independence needed to learn how to pack away themselves or find specific toys while having a play date. You’ll notice many of our favorite products have been designed to display books and toys, which makes it easier for kids to find what they’re looking for. Some even have integrated play spaces!

 

Rotating toys inspires engagement

The other great thing about finding effective toy storage solutions is that they can be used for you to rotate toys. It’s no secret that kids may play with something incessantly for a week only to grow tired of it and discard it into the abyss of their closet. One way we’ve kept our kids engaged is by rotating toys every four months or so. The return of a once-loved dollhouse sparks new interest and will bring nearly as much joy as getting a new toy!

The best toy storage solutions for kids

 

Nico & Yeye Toy Box Chest on Casters

 

 

Available in both sustainably-sourced walnut and maple hardwood and in a range of fun colors, the Nico & Yeye Toy Box Chest is easy for kids to roll around their rooms or drag outside to play! The best part: It’s UL-GREENGUARD Gold–Certified, meaning it’s been screened for over 10,000 chemicals and VOCs known to pollute indoor air and meets the rigorous chemical emissions standards of UL, a global independent safety science company.

 

Oeuf Toy Storage

 

We love Oeuf’s Toy Storage’s freestanding shelving, which has nine separate bins that can be tilted for display or positioned flat to store all of your tot’s favorite toys or art supplies. Once your tot is passed the toy stage of life, it can be used to organize hobby materials or even gardening tools.
