Line up inexpensive tubs that are easy for kids to pull out - and tidy away. ‘The rubber garden tub is an instant storage classic,' says Jenny Dalton, founder of littlebigmagazine.com. ‘Each one holds a huge amount of toys. Keeping to a single colour contributes to a sense of order, even where there is hidden disorder!'
They're good for tiny toys such as cars and Lego, but kids can forget what they have, so be prepared for them tipping everything out on the floor. Schedule regular ‘tidy up time' so they know they're going to have to clear away at the end of the day. Or, choose transparent storage so toys are visible.
