Organizing Legos by Shape is Fun and Easy
This lego organizing post applies to ALL parents, not just single parents.
I LOVE building legos with my Son. I also love building them on my own. I have finally mastered how to organize his Legos after trying many different storage systems. Organizing Legos by color, while it may look beautiful and sense, makes it harder to find the right piece when actively building. When organizing Legos by type or shape, it is much faster to find the color needed among all the same shape types. This makes it more fun for little and older kids to get the pieces they need for their Lego masterpiece.
Here are some storage solutions to help organize by piece type and shape.
#1 - Use EMENTOL's Multi-Purpose Organizer Box Set with 44 Removable Compartments
This is the best organizing bin for Lego pieces, period. Read on to see why its the best!
This is one of the brilliant features of Elementol's Organizer. When you are first starting out in organizing your legos, you'll have all sorts of different shapes to separate. As you get all of your pieces into bins, it will make sense to put all of the single dot pieces together, double dot pieces together, and so on...the beauty of this is you can easily remove the compartments and rearrange them! You don't have to grab all of the pieces out of the compartment, and drop them in another...just lift and move! This is also great for kids who want to pick out a few compartments and move them over to their work area.
#3 - This Organizer Box is Inexpensive and Includes 2 Full Organizers!
Two organizers for $33 (at the time of writing this post) means they are about $16 each! That's super budget-friendly. I tried using tool boxes, smaller bins, Temu products, and this is the best deal that gets the job done!
#4 - The BIGGEST Selling Point: These Bins Fit into an Ikea Kallax and/or Walmart Cube Storage!!
I have tested, and these amazing organizer sets stack neatly and fit perfectly in both the Ikea Kallax storage system or Walmart Cube Storage!! The Bin dimensions are 16.2"L x 13"W x 2.3"H. I am able to stack 5 entire organizers into one Kallax or Walmart Cube!!!
#5 - For Storage of Legos that are Longer Pieces, use the Sterilite Layer Stack & Carry Box
The Sterilite Layer Stack and Carry Boxes are GREAT for organizing the larger lego pieces.
I'll be posting more tips about Lego organization soon.
