How To Solve Your Storage Toy Problem

Executive Summary by Dian Dewi and Ann Marier

Toys Storage

One important thing to do as our child’s toy collection grow is to devise a proper storage toy system and to train your child to have a good clean up attitude. If your child is anything like mine, there is a big chance that your child has a considerable number of toys. If your child has a lot of toys, to make toy organization easier, I recommend you to consider doing a toy rotation.

This way, your child will only have limited number of toys to play at one time and therefore this technique is powerful to reduce the possibility of getting a large number of toys scattered around the house and makes the clean up time easier. Further, toy rotation will make the toys feel new again and hence can increase your child’s interest on them.

Why ?

When all the toys are visible, kids get overwhelmed by the choices available to them. As a result, each one of the toys loses its individual value. By performing toy rotation, each toy will regain their value in your child’s eyes and hence makes the toys more interesting.

So how do you do the toy rotation ?

Here is the list of how you can store and organize your child’s toy:

- by using toy chest or toy box.

- by using shelves or bookcases.

- by using little bins or baskets for storing little things on the shelves.

- by using toy hammock for storing your child’s stuffed animal.

- by using small chest of drawers.

- by using other creative toy storage solution, such as: buckets hung on the wall, suitcases under the bed, shoe bag behind the closet door

- by using toy-specific toy storage system, such as using a specialized box to store Lego or construction toy set.

When devising a storage toy system, it is important to have a system which is simple and easy to understand, so that your child will not have difficulties in cleaning up and accessing toys.

Using Hammocks For Storage Toy

Using hammocks for toy storage means that the kids can even toss the toys into the hammock. It becomes a game instead of work because kids will throw there toys without the say of parents.

When the parent says to throw all of the toys into the hammock, they might not believe what they heard. As long as the parent allows the kids to do it in their own way it will be a fun activity for them. It gets the toys up off of the floor and makes the room be able to be walked through.

This is only one step in keeping kids rooms picked up but it will work up to the point when they become teenagers and know more than their parents.

Using hammocks for storage toy can be dangerous because some toys should never be thrown and if a toy hits a sibling or friend, it could cause an injury.

Finally, having hammocks for toy storage can be an easy way to keep the room clean without having to constantly fight with the kids, but should only be put into rooms that can be closely monitored in order to keep the kids safe and without major injuries.
