I’ve overhauled our children’s toy area several times over the past few years. Baby, toddler, preschooler… at each age, children engage in play in different ways: gazing at toys on a blanket, grasping for toys dangling above, scooting to follow a mobile toy.
For toddlers and preschoolers, I wanted to break away from the typical toy box for various reasons. So I moved to shelf and bin storage for our toys.

I especially like it because I've been doing the "open storage" idea for toys for about five years now -- not knowing that I was taking such an educational approach! My main goal was to set up a system that provided "A place for everything and everything in its place!"
And "open storage" does help little ones learn where their items belong... :)
