Rather than piling toy cars into bins and buckets, try filling a wall with your son’s favorite four-wheeled treasures. Book ledges are the perfect size for exhibiting toy cars. Make sure to choose a shelf with a shallow lip. Because you probably don’t want to obscure the side of the cars! If you prefer to see the entire car, try fixing the ledges upside down.
7. Lingerie Bag
Lingerie bags are used as bath toy storage for kids. If you are tired of gathering up cold, wet bath toys every time you step into the shower, then instead of paying a lot of money for a small bath net or bulky storage scoop, why not pick up a cheap lingerie bag and make your own? Intended for use in water, a lingerie bag’s mesh material dries quickly and permits any water trapped inside the bag to evaporate easily, making it the perfect tool for the job. Just sew ribbon loops to the corners of your lingerie bag and fasten to the shower wall using cheap suction-cup hooks.
8. Wall Baskets
Wire wall baskets can be used as toy storage for kids. Wall-mounted wire planters generally store little more than potting soil, but when installed on a playroom wall, they make an attractive and inexpensive alternative to those expensive, purpose-made wall baskets.
9. Hanging Baskets

A three-tier fruit and vegetable basket serves nicely as a drying and storage rack for bath toys and shower accessories and can be easily swung from your existing curtain rod. Prefer something a little less flashy? Install a hanging plant hook to the wall above your shower, and hang your basket in the corner.
10. Dresser Drawers
Some attractive storage drawers can be repurposed from old and thrifted dressers, to fit neatly under the bed and roll out for easy access. You can use the reclaimed space to store toys or tuck away winter clothing, extra blankets, and other items not currently in everyday use.
These are some of the hacks you can try at home to organize your kids’ toys so they won’t lie around the house so much. All you need to do is to look at your regular household things with a different perspective and a little imagination.
