We just had the Christmas that Lego built. The Kid received something like 6 Lego sets over the holidays to add to his growing collection. It really is the perfect gift for him as he LOVES building any sort of vehicle out of Lego and it engages him more that most toys. He’s been having a terrific time but it has introduced a new organizing challenge for me. What to do with all of this Lego?!?
We have a small house. A semi with an unfinished basement.
That means that we spend a lot of our family time on our main floor, mostly in our little living room. Playing games. Building Lego. Racing Hot Wheels. Watching movies. Relaxing.
But the room is only big enough for a few pieces of furniture and can get cluttered with toys and stuff really quickly. So we’ve maximized storage everywhere we can in this room, tucking it in any available space. Here’s where we put it all:
Here's a classic first organizing task of the year...pack up all the Christmas decorations. Now that the holiday season is over, it is time to tuck it all away safely and neatly, ready for next year.
Here are some things that I do when packing up:
• Wrap small ornaments individually but keep them together in Ziploc baggies
• Use decorative cookie tins that have been given to us, to hold lights or larger ornaments
