1. Stuffed Animal Storage Bean Bag

Shop here for £22. 59

Up first is an innovative option I probably could’ve used when I was younger. At just over £20, this stuffed animal storage find offers a variety of uses beyond keeping your kid’s beloved plushies in one place. You fill the cylindrical cover with their stuffed friends, zip from top to bottom, and viola—you now have a multi-functional piece of furniture that can be used for multiple purposes, and the mess is kept at bay.

They can use it as a pillow, bean bag seat, boxing bag (that won’t hurt their little hands), or just as a convenient and easy-to-use storage solution that makes putting stuffed toys away and retrieving them so much easier.

2. Toy Box Storage Chest with Wheels

Shop here for £25. 99

If there’s one thing you likely can’t predict with your little tyke, it’s when and where they’ll want to reach for any particular toy. They could be in their room, downstairs or in the garden when suddenly they must have one specific toy. That’s why a storage option that comes armed with wheels and a lightweight material is a godsend.

Easily moved from room to room but with a large enough capacity (94L) to house all of their go-to action figures, board games and more, this toy box is affordable, simple and super convenient when it comes to keeping your child’s room tidy, and their favourite toys close to hand.

3. Kids Bookshelf Toy Organiser

Shop here for £29. 99

This bookshelf organiser is more of a decorative way of storing your kids’ toys. It offers plenty of room to house your kids’ belongings in a way that makes them easy to reach for and find. Comprised of wooden shelves and fabric boxes for toys, games, and essentials, this shelf makes it easy to keep things organised in designated boxes, which can be removed from the shelf when it’s time to play.

With two top display sections for their favourite books and nursery rhymes, the selection of boxes lets you know where your kids’ go-to belongings are. It makes them easily retrieve without the hassle of rifling through cupboards or other storage containers. Plus, it keeps their toys and boys off of their bedroom floor.

4. TidyTrove Storage Boxes

Shop here for £33. 99

Potentially my favourite pick, these storage boxes aren’t just for use in the nursery – but they are sure to be useful when it comes to storage solutions in your kids’ rooms. Think of your average, clear plastic boxes where you would normally keep large quantities of things (be it toys, clothes, stuffed animals, board games, books or more); now think of all the times you’ve had to search through those boxes for an age, potentially even having to pull half of its contents out, to find something. Been there? Well, not anymore.

These aren’t your average storage containers – they have side doors that make it easy to reach in and grab a specific item without pouring piles of stuff back onto the floor. Perfect for organising and tidying, you can stack boxes on top of one another without pulling them down. Look through their clear plastic exterior, find what you’re looking for, and pop open that handy side hatch to retrieve it. Simply, convenient, and space-saving too!

5. Storage Bins with Building Baseplate

Shop here for £47. 46

Last but not least, these are the perfect answers to your prayers if you’ve been seeking a multipurpose way to keep your kid’s building blocks and Legos out of the way and in order. This organiser comes with a removable tray featuring 5 compartments, which can be placed or removed depending on how your child wants to play.

The storage box has creative block baseplate lids, which are compatible with most bricks. This means you and your children can build a variety of building block toy creations on top of their designated storage. There’s no need for loose bits of Lego to be trodden on in random parts of the house, as this find integrates storage and constructive playtime while saving space and making storage more convenient.

If you’re looking for something simple to keep toys tucked away, Dunelm is offering this budget-friendly shelving unit for £24. 50. It offers the same fabric storage boxes as one of the above.

For those with a bigger budget and are looking for something a tad more decorative, Debenhams has this fabulous Children’s Landing Train Cute Toy Clothes and Books Storage Rack. It makes organising more fun for the little ones—plus, it’s currently on sale for the reduced price of £118. 75.
