Tip Tuesday :: 3 Creative Ways to Store Toys
Let's face it – kids come with toys and lots of them! It's easy to let them take over a home and even easier to just close the door to a play room and pretend they don't exist. Today we are sharing some fun finds on how to creatively clean up the kid clutter.
First up are the toy cars that can probably be found all over your home. This quick magnetic strip makes it easy for your kids to put the cars away when they are finished. Even better, it's easy to pick out their favorite car from the bunch when they are ready to play! This adorable blogger makes it easy with her step by step tutorial!
Next, we are going to help tame the constant pile of artwork. Nothing makes you feel guiltier than throwing away your kid's work that they "gave" you. It seriously tugs at your heart strings to trash it – we know! Instead, consider making a gallery wall to display the pieces instead of keeping them piled up somewhere. Then, when it's time to say goodbye to them, you won't feel nearly as bad. This gallery space was created by Haeley of Design Improvised.
Finally, LEGOS! Whether you have one child or ten, you likely have 1,000 mini lego pieces all over your home. As much as we like to think they can be stored together in the box they came in, they simply can't. Take this real life solution from Modern Parents Messy Kids and put it into place in your home. This will certainly help make having legos "liveable" instead of feeling like you live in Lego Land!
We hope you've been inspired to tackle a mess that's been around for far too long!
