Storage Cubes

[Lyss]

problem is you really need to have toys for them to SEE on the shelves to make a choice but ALL choices do not need to be seen. I have some of those cavans totes that have a strong wire frame and they hold up great. the soft ones do not.

my favorite containers and the IKEA TROFAST storage totes.. plastic but mine are 10 years old and none have broken.

I also have the Trofast containers and love them!! I have 6 totes in one that are out all the time but I bought 4 additional ones (with lids) that I keep in the garage so i can rotate the toys in and out. I just take one tote out, put the lid on, and pop in the other one. presto chango new toys! ! My kids hang all over them but I've yet to have one break (shelves or totes)


this is what I have (except they have labels on them with photo pictures of the toys now) and the red/whit/pink totes are what I switch out

1 toy bin out at a time per group...

I have three rugs.... each rug can have one bin out on it and it does not leave that rug. when you are done with it you put it away before another can come out

3 kids to each rug total.

It works very well otherwise the bins many different toys and then they don't want to play with them because they can't find the rest of the set.

That would drive me crazy And my group is far to creative for that. Funny do you think we attract families that think as we do ? There is no way my kids could stay in groups of 3 and only on a rug.

heck one when sh paints uses two brushes and once tried laying down to paint. ( did not work)

As long as they put it away I am happy. LOL
