Stuffed Animal Storage Ideas – Create Your Own Little Zoo
Stuffed animals may be cute and cuddly and both kids and adults love them but finding proper storage for them often proves to be a problem. You want to use as little space as possible so putting them all in a big box seems like a practical idea but you also want to display them in a nice way so that idea goes down the drain as quickly as it came. Maybe you’ll have more luck with one of these ideas:
Store stuffed animals in a wooden cradel or in your kid’s old bassinet. Store them and use them as decorations for the room. The perfect dual-purpose piece.
Mount a shelf high on the wall, just under the ceiling. All the stuffed animals can be stored and displayed there and you won’t waste valuable floor space.
Let the stuffed animals interact with the furniture. Just look how relaxed these ones look. They seem to have a great time up there on the round shelves.
Corner shelves are great for all sorts of things and stuffed animals make no exception. They fit nicely in the corner, above the bunk beds and they seem very happy up there.
Store toys in a chest at the foot of the bed. A nice traditional accent piece and once that’s also very practical. The kids will definitely find the idea fun and interesting.
Another fun idea is to use storage bands on the walls. They hold toys up on the wall and they can adapt and stretch depending on the size of the toys or objects that you place there.
Gt all the toys, stuffed animals included, organized on shelves. Open shelves are the most practical in playrooms and kids’ rooms. Small toys can go in baskets or bins and the big ones can be displayed on the shelves.
These lovely little cubbies look so pretty on the nursery wall. Each one can hold a few stuffed animals or toys and you can organize them by size, shape or however else you want.
Be clever and use the space above the windows. Install a shelf up there and use it to store and display stuffed animals that kids don’t usually play with.{found on prettyhandygirl}.
Kids like to have their stuffed animals close by when they go to sleep. Instead of turning the bed into storage. Give the toys their own sleeping space on the bench, at the foot of the bed.
Sure, you have to be practical when you choose the right type of storage for your kid’s toys. But you also have to make it fun for the kids so they enjoy cleaning the room and organizing their toys. Make a swing for the stuffed animals. It’s the perfect solution.{found on itsalwaysautumn}.
Storing toys in a big cubby is not always practical as it a lot of space remains unused. But with this type of design, you can save quite a bit of space. The only downsize is that the stuffed animals look like they’re in jail.
Turn a garden hanging planter into storage for stuffed animals. You can also use baskets the same way. Hang them from the ceiling to save space and to keep the floor clear.{found on diyinspired}.
You can also repurpose other types of planters. Remove the liner and mount them on the wall, at a comfortable height so the kids can use them.
In the case of stuffed animals, a fun idea can be to make a zoo and store them all in one place. It’s a rather simple DIY project and you can customize it it lots of different ways.{found on cottonridgehomeschool}.
Mount storage baskets on the wall and add a few elastic bands. Then get all the stuffed animals in there. The “zoo” sign is a nice and creative touch.
Instead of baskets, you can also use small buckets. Make two rows on the wall, somewhere in a corner or wherever you can find some free space. You can even label them.{found on blogger}.
A simple and practical solution is to use a laundry basket or bin like this one. You can see all the toys stored in there so the kids can identify the one they want and take it out.
A similar example with a slightly different design. You can build your own toy storage bin from scrap pieces of wood and twine or cable.
Make a wall-hanging storage hammock. You can use an old scarf or a piece of fabric. Easy and not bad-looking either.
