The Best Products to Help You Organize Your Kids’ Stuff

You may choose a different size or shape depending on your needs, but these bins really come in handy when it’s time to store away the clothes your oldest kid just grew out of, or finally take those toddler toys out of the playroom. We like this one because it’s transparent, so you can easily scan the contents without opening it up. Psst…we typically need more of these than we think, so buy a few. ($12.98, Home Depot)

If you can’t fill a basement or attic with big boxes, or you just want to keep your stuff relatively accessible, try an underbed box. These have wheels and dual-hinged lids for easy retrieval. ($84.14/pack of two, Amazon)

If you’re looking for something to keep on display, this canvas bin from Pehr offers both a subtle, cute design and easy access for little ones. Fill it with stuffies, dress-up clothes, dolls, or whatever else your kids are into these days. ($36, Amazon)

A cute, cozy seat and a storage option, all in one. This chair cover (note — it arrives unfilled) comes in 17 colors and patterns, plus different fabrics like velvet and canvas. Fill it up with anything soft — toys, blankets, pillows — for a comfy place to relax. ($29.99, Amazon)

Make sure there’s always an open invitation to storytime with this bookshelf that shows the cover of every book (rather than the spine). Bonus: It fits narrowly against the wall, saving valuable floor space for play. ($26.34, Amazon)

This shelf has 12 storage boxes, which come in three different color themes — blue, pink, or rainbow. It’s an easy and eye-catching way to store everything that normally lives on the playroom floor. ($63, Amazon)

This kid-sized bookshelf works for books, of course, but also toys — you can store the toys directly on the shelf or add a few bins to keep the shelves extra organized. If you have the space, put two or three next to each other for a full-wall shelf effect. ($109.77, The Home Depot)

With 4.5 cubic feet of storage space and a safety-hinged lid, this chest is a great place to pack away all your kids’ faves at the end of the day. It comes in four colors, and can even double as a little nursery bench when closed. ($116.99, Amazon)

Legos: iconically fun to play with, iconically annoying to clean up. And painful to step on. Enter this storage bag that lets you see the entire contents of your collection without creating a mess that’ll take hours to clean up. Psst…it works with any other toys, too ($64.99, Amazon)

Because you can never have enough bins, especially if they have cute cat faces on them. Use this for toys, blankets, books, or whatever else you’re having trouble keeping under control. ($22.99, Amazon)

Of course, you don’t want it to, but it’s super easy to wipe down if it does. This spinning plastic organizer has more than enough space for toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair products, lotions, and more. And since it’s clear, nothing will get lost. ($20, Target)

If your diaper table doesn’t have room for all the essentials, and you’re constantly knocking the butt paste into the diaper pail…allow us to be of service. This stain-resistant fabric organizer has six shelves, two pockets, and enough room to store dozens of diapers at a time. Not to mention wipes, creams, and whatever else you may need. ($21.92, Amazon)
