They love them and I have to tolerate them. The major thing about them is that they have to fit in one of those under-the-bed rolly things or there's too many. I just gotta find one for Li'l Empress now, who has quite an impressive collection already.<BR/><BR/>You really MUST post before and after pics of your IKEA finds - I've been thinkin' of heading to ours and making some organizational tweaks here. I want to see what you get and how you use it. :)The Gang's Momma!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12478478224173323982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31450293.post-30243531641330654252008-10-30T05:55:00.000-04:002008-10-30T05:55:00.000-04:00I can SO totally help you on November 15th on our ...I can SO totally help you on November 15th on our IKEA excursion. AND, for some sick reason, I love to put flat-packed furniture together, so arm me with the little 3-inch allen wrench it comes with and we'll have all those toys organized in no time. (Well, probably more like a few hours, but still, I'm on board.)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893856461584016317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31450293.post-86105216911276291372008-10-30T00:54:00.000-04:002008-10-30T00:54:00.000-04:00I have two children, one of which is a 3-year old ...I have two children, one of which is a 3-year old just like Princess. For toy storage, we're having success using a variety of bins, drawers, and a toy chest. We also label the bins and drawers for easier clean-up. (My plan was to do so with photos but I only got as far as masking tape). And to reduce the speed at which the bins and drawers evolve into a useless jumble of mismatched clutter, we keep the smaller toys sorted within using zippered see-through mesh bags (KidsKlutterKatchers.com) <BR/>Stuffed animals go in a small laundry basket. Books go on the bookshelf and also on the display shelf. (We bought a used one like they have at preschool... Seeing the book covers has totally made reading the most desirable activity of late.)<BR/>We rotate toys in and out of a stock-pile of Rubbermaid tote bins in the crawl space.<BR/>Happy organizing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
