The trouble with a lots of kids’ storage is that by the time, they filled it with plastic tat or beautiful carved wooden toys (which, let’s face it we all want for the first child until we realise that toddlers hitting each other over the head with a wooden crane is a lot more dangerous than with the cheap plastic one) you can’t lift it and when, as small children inevitably will, they want to play in another room you can’t move the thing. This, then, is the answer. A sturdy wooden box on wheels that they can push from room to room or even push each other from room to room.
And when they’ve finished putting toys in it you can reclaim it for yourself. I used a similar box to this to store work related folders and books for many years. I could wheel it to the kitchen table and back into a cupboard afterwards. Or, as in the picture above, you can fill it with logs for a cosy evening by the fire. Fill it with DVDs or magazines. The possibilities are endless.
