20 Unique Toy Storage Ideas

A new year is a fresh start at organizing your home, yes that included the kid’s room! If you are wondering what to do with all of the toy clutter, here are 20 unique toy storage ideas to help you out.

This year I’m tackling one room at a time, trying to arrange, decorate and organize. My son’s room is one of the first on the list. I have to say I have a hard time knowing what to do with his toys. There are things he plays with often that need to be accessible. Things that he plays with less, but his sentimental mamma is not ready to get rid of yet.

These excuses have caused me to just deal with his room situation, instead of doing something about it. (head hung in shame) This year, I have finally had enough. I’m going in with totes and labels in hand to put a few of these unique toy storage ideas to use.
