Keep the system you use simple enough for the child's age.

Types of Organizing Toy Bins

• Open plastic storage bins that fit into a storage bin organizer. The bins are plastic and come in a variety of colors. The bin organizer is sized to hold anywhere from four to twelve plastic bins. These are great for small children since they are open. It's a good idea to tape a picture of what goes into each bin on the front so the children know which toys go into each bin.
