Stuffed animals take up a lot more space than you might expect. And when your kid can't find their favorite bunny or bear right away, the search can be stressful! 

Here are a few tips for stuffed animal storage and organization using solutions from The Shelving Store:

Shelves for Storage and Display

By using wall mounted shelving in your kids' bedroom or playroom, you can accomplish two goals:

1. Organizing a large stuffed animal collection
2. Creating a fun way to decorate the room!

Have your kids line up a few of the ones they play with the most, and watch as the whole room brightens up. For a more industrial look, our wall-mounted wire shelving is perfect for keeping "stuffies" visible and free.

Closet Storage

Of course, not every stuffed toy needs to be constantly out on display. A great way to store the ones your kids aren't always playing with is to utilize your closet organizers. Anything that can hang up, like over-the-door storage baskets, will let your kids access (and put away) their toys easier, giving every animal a home when they're not being played with.

Bed Benches and Low Units

Sometimes the easiest way to put something away is to find a spot where it can sit low to the ground. Entryway benches can be easily repurposed for a bedroom to give your kids:

• A place to keep their stuffed friends
• A spot to sit while getting dressed in the morning

You can also use 2-tier wire shelving units to create a "zoo" at a height that is easy for toddlers to reach.

Closet Boxes and Bins

The biggest collections need the biggest solutions. Pick out a few storage bins and baskets and set them up inside the kids' closet to help them stash their stuffed animals away. For extra organization, wire basket shelves can be added to any existing wire unit to keep smaller plush toys from falling out.

Colorful Accent Storage

To make the room even more kid-friendly, consider using mini lockers or kids lockers. They come in various fun colors and provide a durable, "secret" place for kids to tuck away their favorite stuffed animals at the end of the day. 

Whatever you do, just try to keep your kids involved! If they feel like they're part of the process, it'll make them more likely to stay with it and keep everything all nice and put away!
