Toy Storage Ideas?!

[EntropyControlSpecialist]

Traditional daycare shelving can fall over if pushed. I learned that recently when 4 of my kids decided to "lean against it" ???? I have no idea why this was a good idea but it scared the daylights out of them when it fell over the other way.

I bought mine from discount school supply. It is natural wood (like everything in my daycare).

We have shelves like these at our center. There are units with 6 and 9 spaces too. They can be pricey, but they last forever! On the shelves we (in the toddler room) have some clear containers with lids, and some without. The ones with the lids the toddlers need help opening, so we are able to control the mess.



Me too!

Mine look similar, they are just 3 levels high instead of 2.

I anchor everything to the wall. I'm way too paranoid about something falling on the kiddos.

I use wood cubbies with clear containers.

I love those shelves, Meeko! I'm looking for cheap wood ones but I find more cubes than anything- makes it hard to use the rectangular plastic bins I already have.

puppets

I was just given a bag full of small puppets and I want to come up with something other than a bin.....thinking of a clothesline?

A child's coat tree is an awesome puppet holder!
