We have lots of kids which means we have even more toys. The big cross age toys we have are
Fisher Price Little People
and
Mega Bloks
because all my kids love to play with them. When we lived in our old house they resided in under the bed bins and they stayed in those bins when we moved to the new house and the toys got placed in the play room. We also have severely outgrown the bins so we couldn't put the lids on them if we wanted to. But I knew these bins weren't the best choice but I didn't want to do boxes with lids because the baby couldn't get into them. So I was toodling around JoAnns and I saw these large bins on sale for 40% off (about $15). We were able to add a little vertical height and use the bins as shelves for all the larger pieces. Doesn't it look pretty now? We may end up getting more of these or even the ones half the size. You can stack them straight up or intermix them!

Wow! These bins are fabulous with them being open in the front!! I've never seen them at JoAnns and I swear I live at JoAnns! ;) Great work...it looks like a fabulous (and fun) tackle.

That is so cool! Thankfully we are out of the Little People stage (I was OCD about those!)...but now we have Magnetix and K'nex and anything else with teeny tiny pieces that attach your feet! Have a great week!

Those are too cool, I've never seen them before either. I'll have to check out JoAnns next time I'm there. Toy storage is something we struggle with here too!
