Organising and sorting kids toys

Well I felt inspired this afternoon to get out all the puzzles and games that have been dumped into several drawers in the lounge. So out came the roll of sellotape as well to mend any boxes and refix the tab things on some of the puzzles (silly soft cardboard ones). A bit of decluttering also went on!

The activity table with the felt pens/crayons/pencils and paper also had an overhaul and were given their own little trays to keep things easily retrievable. I find the kids seem to play so much better with their toys if they are sorted into sets and are more likely to then pull out several things to play with together rather than coming across heaps of random items that don't inspire them to play with them.

Now I'm thinking of making some cool bags like these that Rach did for the games etc in her home - not many of our puzzles and games seem to have their boxes anymore, so I need some sort of storage system for them.
