HOW TO ORGANIZE SMALL TOYS

For Christmas, I got my nephew a Snap Circuit Jr.  It is a pretty cool toy that lets the little one conduct electricity based experiments.  It is recommended by The National Parenting Center-Seal of Approval, Dr. Toy 100 Best Children's Products and Dr. Toy Best Educational Products.  Really amazing toy for only $25.  The thing about this toy is that each piece is labeled and each piece is equally important than the other piece.  Translation: You can't lose a piece. Initially, we put the little pieces in a bin, but that didn't work since it meant picking out each piece manually to see the label and it was a bit much of work.




So, I decided to label the plastic/box it came with using a Sharpie:


Then, all my nephew has to do is to match each labeled piece to its corresponding slot:

 

Now, everything is neatly organized and he knows whether he is missing a piece.  It also makes it easier for him to find pieces instead of going through a box.

  1. This is a good idea. Thanks for sharing I never would have thought of using the original package and just label.
