Do you dislike seeing a bunch of mismatched game boxes in your toy closet? Are your boxes falling apart?
The toy closet is usually one of the first things you’ll work on when you’re cleaning and organizing.
You can be such a super organized person–every toy has its bin and label. But then there’s the game boxes. They’re all different sizes and shapes, and there’s no way for them to look neat in the closet.
Plus, they don’t even last. Some are taped at the sides. If you stack them, it’s difficult to take out a game that’s on the bottom. If you put them on their sides, the pieces fall out.
We already showed you a card game solution in this post. (Note: We realize now that we would prefer using a couple of smaller boxes rather than one big card game box, so that it’s not quite so heavy when taking in and out).
Most games don’t fit nicely in the traditional bins that you use for your toys. The board are bigger and don’t fit, and they don’t really need so much vertical space.
When we discovered these Iris Containers, it was an “ah hah!” moment. Finally!
These bins work so well vertically.
What do you do with smaller games that don’t need a whole container? You can either group a few together, or keep them in a regular toy bin below.
It’s easy to pull out the games and play, and it’s easy to clean up and put them back in their place.
These containers also work nicely for craft items (paper, markers, supplies).
Curious about the labels you see? Read our post on the phomemo printer.
