1. Clear, stackable plastic bins with lids
These clear plastic boxes make great sensory bins as well! And when you don’t need them for toys anymore, you can use them to organize another area of your home. Craft storage anyone?
These pop-up hampers are a great, affordable storage solution for stuffed animals, sports equipment, blocks, balloons, and other bulky toys. The handles make it easy to hang it up if you need to, and the pop-up style means you can store these away if you don’t need them.
These are great for storing little items and even for bath toys! I like to use these bags to keep sets together inside larger bins. Pencil pouches like these are also good for little items and things like puzzles and on-the-go activity sets.
These tubs, (while perfect for chilling beverages), can also be used to organize smaller toys and display them nicely. Click here to find the clear buckets, and try to ignore the bottles of grown-up beverages and imagine toys in there instead. 😀
I love these clear toy bags. They zip shut and have a nice handle at the top for lugging toys around! The clear part in the middle lets you see what’s in them without opening and dumping everything out.
Think outside the box when it comes to toy storage. Little accessories and even craft supplies will look great in these pop top containers. Kids will love pushing the big button on the lid to make it pop up. Use the novelty to get them to put their toys away!

Wood crates are so versatile. Turn one on its side and keep books in it and use the top as a little table. Get several and stack them and you’ve got an instant bookshelf! Find more ways to use wood crates here.
Tips for Finding Affordable Storage Solutions
The whole goal of this post is to help you get organized and find storage solutions that work for your family and, more importantly, your budget!
If you see something you like, but don’t want to drop that much cash on it, check out thrift stores and shop the kitchen aisle at bargain stores.
Think outside the box when it comes to finding storage for kids’ toys.
Kitchen containers, food containers, travel bags, and office organizers are all fair game. Even sturdy diaper boxes can be covered with pretty wrapping paper or contact paper and used as toy storage!
I hope this post helped you find something that’ll help you organize and store your kids’ belongings!
