Organizing the Toys

posted 21st Jun '12
How do you organize your child(ren)'s toys?

We have so many. Our basement flooded somewhat recently, and we got rid of a bunch. But we still have so many  

We're moving soon, I want to get rid of some, and get DD her own toybox.
Is it stupid for each kid to have a toybox, at the foot of their bed? And the toys that don't fit will be put away in plastic tubs and swapped out once a week or so? Then there won't be enough to make a huge mess, and they'll still have "new" toys to play with?

Any good suggestions on how to organize toys? Do you keep certain toys in certain spots, etc?

TIA

We have 4 giant rubbermaid totes and we rotate the out one a week so they don't get bored and toys aren't everywhere all the time

Cube shelving with boxes on most shelves. Every box I labeled with the item and a pick of it for the Non-readers
Bigger items have a designated location and are mainly in top of the low shelf

I have those plastic drawer things in the boys' closet, that has the toys they most enjoy in them. The basement has a dresser with the rest... The girls don't have "toys" much anymore per say, so most of their things are in the art room. They suprisingly take really good care of it and keep it well picked up!

I've got a ton of plastic bins from Ikea and more from like Target
from my album: Home StuffFlash just to show better..add comment
I keep some of those white bins in the girls dollhouse for all the furniture/barbie stuff - then I've also got classic toyboxes and open bins for dressup clothes

I also had those open bins that everyone mentions, at one point
This was our old playroom

I really like the idea of the bins as opposed to toyboxes because most of what my son plays with are small things, like action figures, etc, and he's really OCD about having his "sets" together

Your kids have really awesome rooms, btw!

Are the pull-out bin holders sturdy?
I don't want them to fall on DD

Thankyou!

Yeah, thats what I do - the bins are kind of organized by type - action figures, cars, blocks, playdough stuff, etc.
