my little corner of organized crafty chaos
I am a Type A kinda lady, but also a bit of a collector…so organization is kinda a big deal for me. Our toy storage for our out or rotation toys is one area of my life that has had to evolve over time, but I definitely have a few items that are my tried and true tools for keeping our toy storage organized!
I have two widely active kids running around my living room every day all day, it just makes more sense to have a living room playroom that suits all our needs!
I have had an idea rolling around in the back of my brain for a while. I wanted to try and do a rainbow toy rotation and boy it didn’t disappoint! I love all the bright colors so much!
I can deny it no longer. My toddler is a preschooler and my baby is a toddler and our playroom toy rotation has had to grow and change with them!

Now that Bitty is starting to show more interest in her toys and is engaging with them more. I will be slowing down our toy rotations. Our 2-year-old toy rotations will be once a month with a small refresh mid-month if I feel that she is getting bored with certain items. With that said we will probably also have more items out during a given rotation to offer more options.
