Have you ever felt like your little one’s toys are taking over your home? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Toddlers are naturally curious and love to explore, which often means toys scattered everywhere. But teaching your toddler about organisation can be fun and turn tidying up into a game.
Key Points
- Start simple: Use storage solutions that are easy for small hands to use.
- Make it fun: Turn tidying up into a game or song.
Choosing the Right Storage
Finding the right storage solutions can make all the difference. Look for sturdy, child-safe options that are the right size for your little one. The Grey Kids Storage Shelf with 5 Compartments is a great option as it has easy-access compartments, perfect for toys and books.
Consider storage that encourages categorization. A Pink Kids Bookshelf & Toy Organiser with Drawer lets your toddler sort books from toys and other items. Pictures or labels on bins can also help them learn what goes where.
Making Tidying Up Fun
Tidying can feel like a chore to a toddler. Turn it into a game! Play a song and challenge them to put away as many toys as they can before it ends. Or create a scavenger hunt, hiding toys and having your toddler find them and put them back in their designated spots.
Use the Blue Six-Drawer Kids Storage Unit or a similar piece to have specific drawers for different types of toys – cars in one, stuffed animals in another. Make cleaning up a fun way to discover ‘hidden treasures’.
Storage Ideas for Every Space
Think about different areas of your home.
In the playroom, a Corner Bookcase & Toy Organiser with Drawers can maximise space, while in the bedroom, a White Kids’ Bookcase with Drawer is perfect for bedtime stories. The White Kids Toy Storage Chest can be tucked away in a corner for quick clean-ups.
Don’t forget about dedicated toy storage outside the playroom. A Rocket Kids’ Bookshelf with Drawer in the living room can hold games and books, while a Pink Children’s Toy Storage Box is a perfect addition to your child’s room.
