My husband and I are really working in teaching our 2.5 year old daughter to pack up before moving on to a different toy. Some days goes very well but sometimes depending on her mood it doesn’t work at all. Still a bit more work on it.

We found one of those hanging shoe holders that go over a door

was brilliant for toys that aren’t too big. Stackable containers like milk crates are great for organizing toys too, and they’re easy to stack, easy to move and can double for many other things.

all great ideas so though having a child who puts things away is a miracle in itself. Children are always having fun being messy so don’t stress too much if they are not put away properly.

Stuffed bears and toys get thrown into a big box we have or we also have a toy net in my daughter’s room! A friend suggested to me to ask everyone to give you a box of nappies instead of a stuffed toy 😉

Definitely a good idea to invest in some good toy storage solutions. A bookcase is always good, and toy racks, plastic boxes, little bins etc. They never go to waste.

we have the cube bookshelves with bins. i have now stopped putting so much pressure on myself though. As long as i pick up all toys and get them into the playroom at the end of the day im happy. Then i try once a week to reorganize and get toys in correct bins. Its a constant battle so why stress over it!

you can buy the coloured wheelie bins, they are pretty good
