Ways to store blocks for children

Usually offered in stores sets of building blocks are equipped with more or less practical containers. In the best situation are buyers of large sets of bricks for the youngest children - they are usually packed in a capacious bucket. However, as the child grows older, most often his collection also grows. Keeping each set separate may make sense for themed products, where mixing pirate ship pieces with a space rocket will make it difficult to reassemble, but space in a child's room is usually limited. Then specially designed boxes come to the rescue. Available in different sizes, they can be adjusted to the size of the collection, making them successfully accommodate all the blocks for children.

Choosing the right container

One big box, or maybe several small ones? There is no simple answer to this question. It is usually a good idea to sort the blocks by type and mutual compatibility. Placing only matching blocks in one container will make it easier to create structures, while teaching the child to organize space. For more building blocks for children a good solution is to buy a container on wheels. This will make it easier not only to play, but also to clean up on your own afterwards - it goes without saying what effect this will have on the orderliness of the room. If we care about segregating sets of building blocks, the solution will be one container holding the original boxes in which the product is sold. Thanks to this solution, blocks from different sets do not mix with each other, at the same time the entire collection is assembled in one place.

Summary

The key to maintaining order in a child's room is to encourage the child to keep it on his own. It is worth remembering that teaching a child to be neat is crucial to his development - for this reason, it is worth providing him with the right tools. In the case of a large number of blocks, a container on wheels, which can be easily moved around the room, is a great convenience. Older children playing with themed sets can segregate them into their original cardboard boxes, then collectively place them in one box for blocks keeping the shelf in order.
