toy boxes? Any suggestions for what to use to store all the toys? I would like something that would not be an eyesore in the house most traditional yet very relaxed. Baby is 7 months now, but I want something that will work for their toys for years to come.
We use a large plastic tote ourselves with a small car that picks up with his own toys. yeah!
There are many ways to keep them well from cardboard boxes of all kinds of drawings on them, plastic cabinets, a wooden toy box, there are also pop up toy boxes too.
Stay away from anything they could get hurt, imprisoned, or like another place that you do not want to go into.
I converted my son's changing table in a shelf of toys. His big toys go in a toy box and all the other toys are separated from its correspondent in baskets (I got mine at the dollar tree). Its so cheap and keeps his toys so organized (cars in the shopping car electronics in a basket, etc.) as well, he taught early on that the cleanup itself was easy because everything has its place. Good luck!
Get a toy box Nice wood with a lock security for your son can not get hurt on it. Do you have a basement or attic? If so, get plastic bins and large toy stores and the more your son is in there. Just bring a few toys at a time and rotate them every day. This way, you can control the space while allowing your son to play with each of them.
Closets are good ... cabinets can be opened and read in also because they could walk. They can get toys and put them on the back, and when they grow up on toys, you can use the cabinets for "your business".
