Top 6 Toy Boxes For Toy Storage

From , former About.com Guide

Buying toys is easy. Figuring out where to store them is the tough part! I've run through several toy bins, drawers, cupboards and am still short of space for my kid's toys. One day, not too long ago, I came across a toy box at a friend's place. It was very conveniently placed at the foot of her daughter's bed. She was using it to store all those toys which really don't fit anywhere and just "hang around". That got me thinking about the various toy boxes available. I came up with these great recommendations for Toy Boxes which I'm sure you'll love.

"An explosion of color" is how I would describe this toy box. Of course, it features the Lil Bratz characters too. If pink and purple with flowers on it appeals to you, this is the toy box to go in for!

I fell in love with the Circus Toy Box from Guidecraft the moment I saw it! It's colorful and lively, with circus designs and cut outs of animals on it. What I found different about the Circus Toy Box is that there are bars on the sides which allows you to look inside the toy box and see what's in there. Very useful when you're looking for a toy - you don't have to pull out everything else to locate it!
