LEGO® bricks are a fantastic toy for kids, sparking creativity and providing endless hours of fun. However, keeping these tiny pieces organised can be a challenge.

Here are some DIY ideas of creative and practical storage solutions to help you manage your child’s LEGO collection and keep your home tidy.

Clear storage bins

Clear storage bins are a simple yet effective way to store LEGO bricks. These bins allow children to see the contents easily, making it easier for them to find the pieces they need. You can label each bin with different categories, such as colours, shapes or types of bricks. Stackable bins are particularly useful as they save space and can be neatly stored in a closet or under a bed.

LEGO storage drawers

Investing in a set of LEGO storage drawers can be a game-changer. These drawers come in various sizes and can be customised to fit your child’s collection. Each drawer can be designated for specific types of bricks, mini-figures, or accessories. The drawers can be placed on a shelf or under a desk, providing easy access and keeping the LEGO pieces organised.

LEGO playmat with storage

A LEGO playmat with built-in storage is a fantastic solution for young kids. These mats provide a designated play area and can be easily folded up to store the bricks when playtime is over. The mat often comes with pockets or compartments to hold the LEGO pieces, making cleanup quick and easy. This solution is perfect for families with limited space, as it combines play and storage in one.

Hanging shoe organiser

A hanging shoe organiser can be repurposed as a LEGO storage solution. Hang the organiser on the back of a door or inside a closet and use the pockets to store different types of LEGO bricks. This method keeps the pieces off the floor and within easy reach for your child. Plus, it’s a budget-friendly option that utilises vertical space effectively.

Portable LEGO storage case

For families on the go, a portable LEGO storage case is a must-have. These cases come in various sizes and designs, with compartments to keep the bricks organised. Your child can take their LEGO collection with them on trips, to playdates, or even to school. The portability of these cases ensures that the bricks stay organised and prevents them from getting lost.
