Tired of stepping on LEGO bricks and losing pieces? We’ve rounded up 10 clever ways to store and organize your child’s LEGO collection so you can get more fun out of your bricks.
LEGO messes aren’t just annoying — they’re borderline dangerous. Nothing is quite as excruciating as stepping on a LEGO brick with bare feet. To make matters worse, it’s frustrating when kids lose all the parts of pricey LEGO building sets. To streamline your LEGO experience, we’ve gathered 10 effective ways to store and organize LEGO bricks. Whether you prefer sorting them out or just keeping LEGO bricks off the floor, these solutions have you covered.
Cool storage head
Little ones will get a kick out of this LEGO storage head that sorts bricks. It’s a good solution if you only have a few LEGO sets. If your LEGO collection is much larger, you’ll probably need a bigger storage system. (Target, $35)
Sorting storage box
For kids who love making their own LEGO creations, sorting is crucial. The clever BOX4BLOX system sorts LEGO bricks by size to get your organization started. You’ll still need to sort smaller pieces and specialty pieces by hand, but it gives you a good foundation. (Amazon, $40)
Toddler sorter
Teach toddlers basic organizing skills from an early age with a creative sorter that lets your LEGO and Duplo bricks do double duty as sorting toys. (Amazon, $12)
Colored storage
Trendy trofast colored storage drawers are perfect for sorting LEGO play sets. Store one set per drawer or sort the bricks and store them by color or size in each handy drawer. (Ikea, $62)
