There are too many toys for children to collapse, so storage can make the home 30 square meters more

Mar 06, 2023

Children keep growing up, and all kinds of age-appropriate toys are bought and bought. There are piles here and there, and the home is easily occupied.

If you accidentally step on it, you will be injured, it will be messy everywhere, and it will affect your child's attention, etc. Problems will come up.

Today, I would like to share with you some practical tips for storing toys to keep the home clean, and by the way, it can also cultivate children's awareness of storage and organization.

When it comes to toy storage, there is a basic consensus: the height of the storage container is best suited to the height of the child, so that the child can play with it whenever they want, and it is convenient for them to clean up by themselves.

However, as children grow up, their height, toys they like to play with, books they read, etc. will all change a lot.

Lu Wei, the former deputy chief architect of Vanke's Guangzhou-Shenzhen region and the author of the best-selling book "Small House, Bigger and Bigger", has a classic point of view: the design of children's rooms should not be completed in one step, but should be properly reserved for the future.

The storage tips we share with you also tend to be easy to operate and can be changed at any time.

For an ordinary family, the area of the home is usually very limited. To obtain more storage space in a limited area, it is necessary to "stand up" things as much as possible.

In the stage of decoration design, it is of course best to reserve enough space for cabinets.

If there is no way to change it, you can use some small auxiliary tools to make full use of the vertical space in the later stage.

For example, the perforated boards that often appear on ins.

With hooks and storage baskets, small doll models, painting materials, sports equipment, guns, etc. can be saved every minute.

Compared with partitions, the shape of the things placed on the perforated board does not have too many restrictions. The position of the hook can be adjusted at any time to increase or decrease the number of things to be placed, and adjust to different heights. But be careful not to overweight.

Barbie, plush dolls or board games that children love to play with, these toys are very light in weight.

Buy some storage bags for storing clothes and small items and hang them up easily. Not only is it neat and convenient, but the appearance of the home is also instantly improved by several levels.

When putting them away, put the ones that children love the most, where they can reach them, or rotate them regularly to keep them fresh.

Drawer type transparent plastic box.

According to the gap between furniture and furniture, there is no pressure to put one or two rows. They can also "grow" with the child's height.

Fridge magnets.

Like our refrigerator in the living room, there is no risk of being smoked by oil. Children put some graffiti, photos and the like on it.

On the one hand, they can have a good interaction with the children. They know that their paintings will be seen by their families, and they feel very satisfied. Second, it is very convenient to store every time you finish painting. Wait until there are enough paintings, and then put them in a folder and collect them.

The original packaging of toys is various, long, square, large, and small. The box alone takes up a lot of space.

Many of them also distinguish between small cells. I hope that every time the child finishes playing, he puts them back one hole at a time~ Uh~ dreaming~

At this time, some simple tools can be considered.

For example, storage bags.

Open the bag, throw it in, seal it. Young children can be involved in the storage process.

After all, children love to pretend to be busy, and tidying up toys becomes part of the game. Don't remind me, I will put it inside myself.

Packed into fresh-keeping bags, the toys also lost weight. In the past, one box took up a lot of space, but now a small box can hold several boxes.

Small wooden toys, beads, and puzzles are tried and tested.

There are also travel storage bags, file bags, etc. similarly. Try to use transparent ones, you don’t need to open them to know what’s inside.

The priority recommendation is the fresh-keeping bag, which is specially used for storage and shopping, but it will actually cause a burden. Use the ones you have at home first.

If there are many parts, use the universal plastic box directly.

Open the lid of the magnetic sheet and Lego, and throw it directly without any effort.

However, if there are multiple layers, it is still recommended to have drawers or boxes that can be opened on the side. Children do not need to move other boxes to play with toys.

There have been boxes like this and tips1. They come in individual packs and are purchased as needed.

There are different heights and sizes, and it is convenient to assemble and use according to toys.

If you feel that the appearance of plastic is not enough, you can try cloth storage boxes, small baskets, etc. Use with shelves and cabinets.

These unified storage tools can not only greatly improve the utilization rate of space, but also make it visually cleaner and fresher.

There is also a super convenient game storage mat for foreign mothers. After playing with the toy on the mat, pack it up and take it away in three seconds.

Children's enthusiasm for toys can easily change.

Like my baby, I loved playing with Playtoy building blocks for a while, Lego for a while, and recently became obsessed with playing poker.

Let the ones you love to play out, and put away the other toys first. First, there will not be too many toys in the house at one time, so it will not be so easy to mess up; second, it will help protect children's attention.

In addition, you can also choose some different types to release according to the child's recent development focus.

Different types of toys have different development priorities. If you want your child to develop in an all-round way, remember to "sprinkle the rain and dew evenly". Comprehensiveness is more important than quantity.

The ultimate way to accommodate is to break away. "Cut off things you don't need; get rid of superfluous things; get rid of the attachment to objects." This is the point of view put forward by the Japanese master of storage, Eiko Yamashita. The essence is to buy less and clean outdated items frequently.

On toys, this can be done specifically.

1) Choose some durable and classic toys.

For example, our family has a set of stacking cups, which were originally used to exercise fine skills. The baby in the back is used to play with water, play with sand, and play role-playing. One set can replace several sets of toys.

Especially when playing with sand, it is easier to carry than a beach bucket. Even if you travel, you can follow us everywhere.

There are many ways to play outside the category, such as Lego, magnetic sheets, and building blocks. One set can dig out N kinds of ways to play. Children will be interested for a long time.

Of course, these gameplays require parents to accompany their children to dig together. Compared with toys, interacting with parents in playing with toys is more helpful to children's growth.

2) Some toys can be "rented".

There are some platforms for toy rental. For some large-scale, new-to-the-new toys, and stage-specific toys, you can consider leasing them.

It is equivalent to having an opportunity for high-priced toys to test whether children will be interested.

3) Regular cleaning.

Some toys can be given to friends or disposed of in other ways after children have passed the age of playing and will not play anymore.

For example, some small strollers when toddlers, fitness piano stands, etc., children basically have no interest after two or three years old. Consider cleaning it up.

If you can't be cruel, you can think of a joke on the Internet.

What is the most expensive thing you have ever bought?

house.

Whether it is renting a house or buying a house, the price paid per square meter is much higher than other items. If it is occupied by useless things, it is really a "waste".
