Anyone have any toy organization they would like to proudly show off?

Fisher Price has officially taken over my house. Last night I freaked and put everything in my son's room. Now it just looks like a FP warehouse in there.

How do you organize all the farms, the airports, the car ramps (or doll houses if you have a DD)? How do you keep all the little cars, animals or pieces? Right now I have them all in a basket but that basket gets dumped out when he is looking for the piece that goes with whatever he is playing with.

I would love to see some pictures or playroom or bedroom organization. I need some inspiration!

I have two shelves that wrap around half the playroom (so they are on two of the four walls). These shelves are out of reach. On the floor below are six big canvas bins from target like maybe 2 x 2. For my little guy I will rotate stuff from the shelves. For my big guy, he will come in and ask me to get something down. It sounds annoying but it's not. He only asks maybe once a day- there's plenty of other stuff in reach in the bins. Before this system I literally would just end up with a two foot pile of toys on the floor.

I have this Circo cube organizer in DD's room. Got it at Target and I love it! I also got a nice wood finish toy box for our living room from KidKraft to help keep things organized. Chat Icon

I have big cloth baskets and old end tables. Baskets go under end tables. Items that get frequent play go on top. We take some stuff and put it into a closet... And then rotate it back into play.

I love the Ikea Trofast toy storage system. It keeps everything really neat and organized. I store large bulky toys on the top.

We have something similar to this but, ours is by Closetmaid (but, also purchased at target). We have a few of them with bins of toys in them.

I try to have the toys grouped by categories.

My house looks like Thomas the Train threw up - I try to keep everything on one side of the house (open layout) but, DS likes to play on the other side because he can set it up to keep his baby brother away (unfortunately though you are greeted by Thomas and Friends the minute you walk int eh door).

same - ours is closetmaid but bought at target and we put them in the closets. Works well but big stuff doesn't fit (like dolls/stuffed animals) We put bigger toys like houses barbie cars etc on top. looks very neat!

Same here I got it recently and love it. Great for grouping items and storing separately. I love it for small items.
