Buy toy storage – guide & Tips
With 79 items in the category 'Toy Storage', you'll find everything here to keep the children's room tidy. The selection ranges from toy storage boxes to tidy-up bags to classic toy chests. Each variant has its own strengths: toy bags are easy to transport – ideal for on the go or for quick tidying up. Baskets can be used freestanding or as shelf inserts, while closed chests protect the contents from dust and often serve as seating.
When buying, pay attention to the material: fabrics like cotton or polyester are soft and safe, but less stable. Wood or plastic offer more dimensional stability, especially for larger items. Size is also important – containers that are too small quickly become overfilled, while ones that are too large make it difficult for small hands to reach in. For toddlers, open baskets without lids are suitable so they can see the contents and take them out independently. For older children, stackable boxes or compartment systems are practical for sorting different toys.
Another point is safety: look for rounded edges, materials tested for harmful substances, and sturdy handles. Chest lids should have damping or a safety lock to prevent pinched fingers. Those who want to save space choose collapsible storage solutions or models with wheels. The right choice always depends on the room size, the age of the children, and the type of toy – from building blocks to stuffed animals to bath toys.

The Liewood Weston 2-pack offers two boxes with lids, suitable for larger quantities or for separating different toys. The 3 Sprouts toy basket Mouse is a subtle basket made of durable material that blends into the children's room with its cute design and, due to its low weight, can be easily moved by children. Decide according to the available storage space and desired level of organization.
Frequently asked questions
Which toy storage is suitable for toddlers under 3 years old?
For toddlers, open, lightweight baskets or fabric boxes without sharp edges are ideal. Avoid heavy wooden lids or chests that could pinch. Look for tested materials (e.g., according to EN 71) and sturdy seams. Soft fabric storage bags are also suitable for carrying and can be easily grasped by small hands. Stackable boxes with lids should only be used from about 4 years of age.
How much storage space do I need for toys in the children's room?
That depends on the amount of toys. As a rule of thumb: Plan for about 100–150 liters of volume per child, e.g., two medium boxes or one large chest plus a basket. Make sure the containers don't get too full – otherwise taking toys out and tidying up becomes tedious. Better to have several smaller containers for different categories (e.g., building blocks, dolls, cars) than one large collection bin. This makes it easier for children to keep an overview.
Are plastic or fabric storage boxes better?
Both materials have advantages and disadvantages: Plastic boxes are shape-stable, easy to clean, and often stackable. They are well-suited for damp rooms or when toys might be wet (e.g., bath toys). Fabric boxes are lighter, softer, and fold down more compactly to save space. They also look more homely and prevent squeaking noises. For children's rooms, a mix is often sensible: sturdy boxes for heavy toys, fabric baskets for stuffed animals and light items.
Can I also use toy storage as decoration?
Yes, many modern storage solutions are visually appealing. Baskets made of woven rattan or fabric boxes with animal motifs are often used as part of room design. Make sure the storage matches the color scheme of the room. This makes tidying up a decorative element. Freestanding shelves with matching boxes look tidy and invite play. Avoid overly colorful patterns that can quickly look cluttered – subtle colors stay nice longer.
