We are the creator of our children’s messy room to a degree. After all, it is we who provide them with the items we call excessive clutter that starts to bury them in. It is great fun for us as adults to adorn our children in toys (especially on Birthdays and Christmas) but also are greatest demise when it comes to keeping their rooms clear enough so when we enter we do not trip over Transformers, Barbie’s, games, and all the other must have collections that have gathered over the years. If we want to keep from breaking our neck by tripping over a toy or whatnot to merely give our child a kiss goodnight, we must take action and create a space that your child will be happy with, yet one we won’t kill ourselves in.
First step in organizing a child’s room is making it child friendly. I’m sure you all have seen articles where they give you storage 101 tips, suggesting you provide plastic bins for this and that. By the time you are done separating the Lego’s from the Transformers, from the train track from the Hot Wheels, etc, your child’s room is stacked from floor to ceiling in plastic bins. And do you really think your 5 year old or even 13 year old is going to make sure the toys that come out of the bins go back into the right one when they are done playing with them? Don’t kid yourself, it will never happen unless you do it yourself. That is defeating the entire purpose of child friendly organizing.
Now let’s be realistic, unless your child has an obsessive compulsive in things being in their proper place, your child is not going to put the Transformers in the Transformers’ bin, Lego’s in the Lego bin, Hot Wheels in the Hot Wheel bin, etc. It is too time consuming and they are all about getting every second out of their free time for play. Instead of making pick up time an overwhelming task, make it simple and quick a sturdy Amish Made Toy Chest. Come pick up time they can just throw all their toys into the chest and shut the top. Sure, the toys will be mixed up, but they will be all in one place and guess what, your child doesn’t have a problem digging to the bottom of his/her toy chest for that one particular Hot Wheel or doll. Best part is, even if you are stuck having to pick up, it is by far faster then doing all the sorting dealing with bins. Sure, the plastic bins look neat in magazine articles, but the realty of it staying that way for any amount of time will be no longer then it takes to snap a picture and then it is history. Make life easy for you and your child. Save the stress for both of you with a durable Amish Made wood toy chest. There are plenty of other things to stress over, like dishes and laundry.

The first thing I look for in a toy box is sturdiness. That's because I know my son is going to take out all the toys and climb in. I knew that this toys box would withstand the test of time and my son.
ReplyDeleteI purchased one of these toy boxes for each of my boys rooms and one for the family room. I use it to store all of the games we have. They used to be stacked on the floor next to the entertainment center and now they are in the chest and out of sight until we need them.
ReplyDeleteThe toy chest would be a great addition to my son's room. My only question is, would he use it? Not that his room is a mess because it's not. He has his toys lined up all around the walls of his room. The cars are parked right under the edge of his bed.
ReplyDeleteMy first child will be here in November. I bought the toy chest in anticipation of it being filled with toys but right now I'm using it for storage of crib sheets, blankets and other baby items. We're working on the nursery so it sits in the living room right now and doesn't look out of place at all. It's a great addition and I know it will get many years of use.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool toy box. I've been using a banana box for my 2 year old. Usually, what goes into the box is not the toys. He crawls into it and uses it for a car, a boat, a train and once he fell asleep curled up in the bottom of it. I wonder if a toy box would be that much fun?
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you but the only times my child's toys end up in the toy box is if I put them there. And, as soon as I get done there is inevitably a toy at the bottom that he 'really needs'! I do like the looks of your toy box. Maybe one day he'll learn to reverse his habit and will actually fill it. I'm not holding my breath.
