Note from Editor

Hello and welcome to another edition of Kids Room Alerts.

We have been making some changes in our home and have discovered that old pieces of furniture can find new uses when replaced. We got a new coffee table and didn't know what to do with the old one. So for a time it stood in as my bedside table…a rather long bedside table! Last

night I shifted it to the kids room as a storage unit for all their toys and presto! We can now see the floor and can walk in the room (as opposed to finding toe-holds around the toys strewn about.)

Innovative Toy Storage Solutions

Visit any kids store or furniture shop and you will find many fun and colorful kids storage solutions.


This adorable organizer from Circo (available at Target) has received rave reviews. Add these cute animal face fabric drawers and presto! The toys strewn around now have a fun home. Of course, getting the toys into the bins is another matter altogether.

A fun way I had devised (that worked very well for many a month) was to have a race. I would stack the dishwasher and the kids had to clean up their room; of course the kids always won (wink).

But you don't have to spend a ton for kids toy storage. What do you really need for storage? A designated place for each toy and book your child has. Look into your garage or shed – do you see any piece of furniture that is not being used? Can you revamp it and add it to your kids room? Like the baby cart organizer that you put away; once your infant outgrew the changing table phase.
