The Best Way to Organize Kids' Toys

11/21/2015

Want to keep your kids' toys ORGANIZED in a way that even an 18 month old can manage? You won't want to miss this! And it's NOT what you'd expect....and perfect for every budget. #upstatecluttercoach #kids #toy #storage #organization #playroom #toddler
 I know you sat up a little straighter when you read the title of this post. That's right, I'm going to give you the holy grail of organizing! I know you've seen a thousand ideas on Pinterest, but there's one idea that you haven't seen. I'm fairly confident that it lacks a million pins simply because it's not well known. No longer will you have to roam in organization darkness....or step on those Legos. 

Most toy storage solutions share one problem: inflexibility. 

A plastic box looks great and stacks like a champ, but have you ever tried to get all the cars back in the box? Fail.
A cloth bin with an open top that easily slides onto a shelf sounds marvelous, but do you really need that much space for crayons? Fail. 

I needed something that:
  1. Could adjust to the size of the item I wanted to store.
  2. Could easily be opened, closed, and PUT AWAY by a three year old.
  3. Was cost effective because I've got too many different toys and I like them separated. Don't hate me. It's an organizer thing.

As I perused the aisles of our fabulous Walmart, I saw the most beautiful storage solution in all the world! Cue angelic beings and sweet trumpet sounds.

That's right, it's a lingerie bag.  

​A 15x18" thick mesh bag with a chunky plastic zipper for less than $2 ($1.17 here in Greenville). You're welcome.

The mesh won't rip. The zipper is sturdy enough for hundreds of washings (read tuggings). The size holds a bowling set or an 88-piece set of plastic food for your child's organizational pleasure. They even had this handy hook on the end IF you wanted to hang them instead of toss them into a cabinet. 

We've got just under twenty of these mesh bags. It makes cleanup a breeze and enables the kids to be part of the process. As for the brand, Mainstays is the best brand that I've found durable enough for kids. I purchased some from the Dollar Tree and those were quite a disappointment.
