A BUDGET FRIENDLY SOLUTION FOR STORING LEGOS

Is your toddler/kiddo coming into their lego era?

Deep breaths.

We know it’s a lot of pieces.

It’s going to be okay 🤣

Especially thanks to this DIY Lego storage solution that is totally budget friendly.

It can be difficult to find ways to store all of the toys from the kids but we think this one is pretty great.

All you need is the IKEA Trofast storage combination with boxes (it’s $96!), 8 lego baseplates, some superglue, scissors, and a heavy pour of patience.

Build the Trofast shelf using the provided instructions. Then, use the 8 baseplates you purchased and measure them onto the top of your Trofast shelf, covering the entire top with Lego baseplate bricks. Cut the baseplates with strong kitchen sheers or scissors and super glue them to the shelf. Allow the shelf to sit and cure/dry for a full 24 hours (don’t rush it!!!) and then voila! The Lego storage table of your home editing, organizational dreams.

Your toddler/kiddo will love having a workable table top for creating. YOU will love being able to find everything and walk through a room of your house without needing to have a Lego extracted from the bed of your foot!

How about at your house? Are your toddlers or kids in their Lego era? Would this shelf be helpful?

... Read moreFinding a practical solution for storing Legos can be challenging, especially when the collection keeps growing. This DIY project not only helps keep your space organized but also adds a playful aspect to your home. The IKEA Trofast storage unit is versatile, allowing you to customize it to your needs. By adding baseplates to the top, your kids will have an instant play area, keeping their imaginative play contained. When organizing Legos, consider sorting by color, theme, or size to make it easier for little hands to find what they need. This method encourages creativity and helps develop sorting skills. Remember, it's essential to involve your children in the organization process; they'll enjoy contributing, and it teaches them responsibility for their belongings. Additionally, making the storage unit visually appealing with fun colors or themes can spark even more interest in Lego play. Sometimes, a little organization leads to more imaginative playtime. After assembling the unit, take time to personalize the storage boxes or area—it can become a special little corner for your child's creations. Keeping it accessible will encourage them to tidy up after playtime, fostering good habits. This DIY Lego storage solution is not just an organization hack; it's a way to celebrate your child’s creativity while maintaining a tidy home. Before starting your project, gather all necessary materials to streamline the process and make the construction as enjoyable as the playtime that will eventually take place atop this organizational marvel.
