Take on the Toys

A child’s job is to play and learn! There is no better way to ensure their success than providing a wealth of toys and games to enhance their learning. But what happens when the toys overtake your home? With the wide range of sizes and shapes of today’s toys, this is a huge concern in homes all across America.

We have some solutions for your stress! Our favorites adapt to a variety of toys and allow easy access for a child to get out and put aways. Toy storage can be accomplished through a toy chest, toy hammocks, kids furniture and a slew of plastic bins and buckets.

Here are a couple of our top favorite toy storage organizers:

	Collapsible Storage Box in Blue by KangaRooM™ My biggest pet peeve with kid toys is they are so big and take up so much space. When I saw this darling collapsible toy box (also available in a spunky pink for girls!) I knew there were others who felt the same way. Skip those big bulky toy boxes that kids outgrow. Big enough to hold a lot, yet quickly collapses to store away or use for other purposes, you’ll love this box by KangaRoom. It even has mesh pockets on the outside to hold small lose items yet keep them in eyeshot.
	Sling Bookshelf Skip your worries about heavy bookshelves tipping over on your child. We love this sling style bookshelf sporting heavy canvas that makes cleaning and “dusting” your bookshelf a breeze but elminiates the weight that comes with typical shelving units. Multiple shelves make it easy for a young child to find their favorite book, puzzle or toy right at their height.
	KidKraft Star Table Set with Primary Bins Welcome this table into any kid friendly zone for it’s bright fun colors and star design, and also for it’s creative use of the often wasted space in the undertable area. Two sturdy buckets are ideal for craft supplies, puzzles, toys, books and more. Low to the ground, their are accessible to even the youngest of toddlers. Hours of playtime will be enjoyed on the sturdy wood playsurface. A real winner!

Gardening with Ease

There is nothing more frustrating than digging through the garage hunting for your favorite spade and shovel and not being able to find them. Your flat of flowers is anxiously waiting to be planted, so you jump in the car, go back to the garden store and buy a new spade and shovel.

Days later, you are hunting for something else in the garage and stumble upon your old spade and shovel! Disorganization costs you not only in wasted time, but in wasted money buying duplicates and replacing tools you can’t find or that were damaged/broken from improper storage. With the price of quality gardenening tools, you can reap great benefits by properly storing and organizing your tool investment.

Here are 3 of our top favorite garden tool organizers:

	Yardiac Garden Scooter Don’t carry an armful of gardening tools around the yard with you.
