Editors’ Pick: Pehr Bins
The Facts:
- Made from sturdy cotton canvas that keeps its shape
- Also, sewn by hand
- Available in a variety of sizes and designs that you can mix and match
It’s hard to resist toy storage that doubles as a catch-all, which is exactly what these stylish (and sturdy) bins offer. Tuck them away on bookcase shelves or set them up out in the open in your playroom as the easiest way to empower kids to pick up after themselves. A mom who owns three adds: “I actually really like the look of these bins in my living room. But I also love that, post-bedtime, I can clean up everything in under four minutes. Trust me, I’ve timed it.”
Best Value: Tot Tutors Supersized Wood Toy Storage Organizer
The Facts:
- Made from wood, plastic and metal that’s both BP- and phthalate-free
- Comes with easy-to-remove bins that are perfect for playtime and cleanup
- Includes 12 regular-size bins and 4 double-size bins
This affordable toy storage unit may be no-frills, but it also gets the job done. Thanks to 16 total (and easy-to-wash) bins of varying sizes, you can easily keep toys sorted so you spend a lot less time searching for missing parts. (You know the extra small blue Lego is somewhere, after all.) Assembly is required—one mom said it took her about 20 minutes—but once this unit is set up, parents love not just the look, but the sense of order it provides. “My son has a lot of toys and the whole ‘throw them in the toy box and let him dig it out’ wasn’t working anymore,” says a mom who tested this out. “He only played with the ones on top. This allows me to rotate his options and make it so he can see everything at once.”
Splurge-worthy: Oeuf Vertical Mini-library
The Facts:
- Compact and vertical design is great for smaller spaces
- Combination of open shelving and stylish cubbies provides options
- Made of sustainable and non-toxic materials
Who said toy storage had to be ugly? This bookcase is both kid-friendly (just look at that open shelving, easy for little hands to access) but also elegant (we repeat, that open shelving—so chic). It’s also the perfect home for toys, treasures and books, including the ones that are oversize. (The dimensions of the shelves vary so there’s room for board books and taller picture books.) One mom we know says it was the best thing she added to her nursery: “Pre-baby, it was super fun to style and curate with baby shower gifts ranging from books to stacking blocks to stuffed animals,” she says. “But now that our daughter is a full-blown toddler, I love that I can rotate the items that are within her reach—and those that aren’t.” It’s worth noting that it comes with the proper hardware to anchor it safely to the wall.
