Toy storage?

[peachey]

We don't have a play room and E likes to be in whatever room we are I so I bought a bunch of open storage tub with handles. It's super easy to toss the toys in and for E to get them out.
Bigger toys we rotate. We have a random closet with a water heater so DH built shelves and he knows he has to put a toy away before getting another out. He picked that concept up really quickly around 18 months (after last Christmas when we got overwhelmed with toys.) especially things with lots of pieces like puzzles or blocks.

I have smaller tubs for bath toys and books also stationed throughout the house.

It wouldn't work for some people because they don't want toys in every room but it works for us.

As toys got outgrown they went in a large tub in the garage and I will pull them back out as Luke gets into them.

FFCC (flame free Christmas confession) I pulled some out to fill Luke's stocking so E wouldn't think Santa didn't bring Luke something.

Where don't we have toys would be a better question. We have a tote in the attic that were DDs old toys and G isn't big enough for. We have a full bathroom in the basement, but no one uses the bathroom. So in that shower is an exersacuer and other random toys. And we have a small play area in basement for the kids and there are bins toys there.

We haven't even put away anything from Christmas yet...

Add me to team "baby didn't need any toys for Christmas".

I live in a one bedroom NYC apartment so space is totally limited. Right now I am using the bookshelf for toy storage, however I am planning on getting a toy chest very very very soon.

As of right now we are keeping them in a toy chest in his bedroom. My dad built it, and it's HUGE. Unnecessarily too big. But it holds all his stuff right now, and it fits in his bedroom, so it works.
