Some great news surfaced in November concerning both young and grown-up Lego collectors. The LEGO Beatles Yellow Submarine is finally out and it looks great! But before you rush to the store to get this exciting kit, make sure you stop and think about how you want to later store your awesome toy and keep it safe, dry and off the floor. We have researched these 5 efficient Lego Storage Ideas for you, they will help you live life organized and keep your kids’ rooms neat and tidy! As a huge lego fan I wanted a huge brick to store my Legos collection instead of using a regular box of some sort. The Lego Storage Brick 8 is an excellent storage solution for large amounts of Legos. I would guess this could easily hold 3000 bricks. However, my children are not having any trouble getting it open. The circular grooves on the inside of the box are so narrow, they would only trap the tiniest pieces, which you would probably want to store separately from the larger bricks anyway. Even 1×1 bricks are too big to get caught in there.
With the Lego Storage it will be a breeze to gather all your regular lego bricks. The lid goes all the way to the bottom of the box which is a plus. The box is sturdier because of it and less liable to spill open unintentionally. Besides this, there are hand-holds to help you lift the box itself or the lid. This large size storage brick provides a more playful way of tidying up the room with your children. You can get as much additional bricks in different sizes and colors because they work as stackable blocks. Meaning, the boxes are stackable like the individual Lego bricks themselves. It will definitely give you a new and exciting way of doing interior decorating as well as helping you with the practical purpose of keeping everything tidy. It really becomes a space saver when you have more than one. Previously, I used canvas bins, but they took up a lot of space and were easy to knock over – scattering legos everywhere, causing me cleanup stress. The best part is that you can buy more of these as the Lego collection grows.
Another one among our 5 great Lego Storage Ideas is the IRIS 6-case Kids’ Activity Station with Organizer Top. This Activity Station will help you keeping kids’ Legos and toys tucked away but still easily accessible. This case is a perfect solution to keep Legos organized. The Activity Station features six removable cases that are designed to hold Legos, books, arts and crafts supplies, and much more! You’ll finally be able to sort your Legos by piece size or specialty pieces, etc. The drawers lock well and hold A LOT! There’s enough room so that as you gain more lego kits, you can continue to sort them by color and add them to the cases. This Lego Storage unit is perfect for kids since they can easily remove cases from the Activity Station and take their favorite collection with them to any room and you won’t have to worry about pieces falling all over the place! The cabinet is fairly sturdy, so if you need to, you can relocate the entire chest by picking it up full and carrying it by the top.
The pull out containers are identical to the ones Lego sells, but the tower is obviously the best thing about this storage piece. This Organizer Top is a great Legos Storage Idea and offers a simple yet efficient way to keep small toys and accessories easily accessible. Also, it will make play and cleanup so much easier! The Activity Station comes fully assembled and it will do wonders for the overflow of Legos. The LEGO Storage Bin is a terrific removable sorting tray, and leaves lots of room for more bricks below. You can use the sorting bin for the smallest pieces, and the room below for 2 x 4s and other similarly sized bricks. This is a versatile storage bin that comes in different colors and will allow you to sort your Legos and have fun while doing it. Here’s an idea: warm colors in the yellow bin, cool colors in the blue bin, and neutrals like black, white and brown in the red bin. You’ll love the fact that it is transparent so you can see if it is full or not. I recommend the medium-sized bin because it’s sizable but not huge, which in my opinion makes it easy for storage.
Makes it easier for the kids to get into and not need help pulling the lid off. The top part works great for keeping the special pieces and small pieces from getting lost in the bucket part and easy to find when the kids are looking to build a certain set. This Akro-Mils Hardware and Craft Cabinet is the #1 Bestseller on Amazon in the Bucket Tool Organizers section. This 44-Drawer set gets the job of organizing your Legos done. Paired with a label maker, this makes the perfect organizer. The drawers are a sturdy plastic and slide in and out smoothly. They open easily and stop if you pull too far – you have to lift the compartment to actually remove it from the cabinet. You can stack the cabinets on top of each other and have everything you need all in one place. The Cabinet come with plastic dividers to help you split many of the drawers into two compartments. Make sure to cut the dividers from the back of the black plastic case. If you’re not looking for them, they would be easy to overlook.
Also, you’ll need to remove the dividers before you fill the compartments with stuff. Overall this is an excellent product for the amount of storage you actually get. The Children’s Play Mat and Toys Storage Bag is a huge floor mat that folds out to 60 inches, offering tons of room for lego bricks, action figures & other toys. You will love this mat since it does such a great job of helping keep your legos cleaned up and it’s easy to open and close. It lays out well, seems well constructed, and has neat little mesh pockets inside, where you can put some specialty pieces you want to find quickly. Use this to make sure your child is having fun without worrying about the mess. It really makes it easy for little ones to keep things together and tidy. Now you can finally play Legos with your children every day, without having a single Lego mess. Your kids will play safely inside of the mat, and if a few Legos leave the mat, it takes only a few seconds to get them back on the mat.
