[...] Next we have the toy cubby unit that I absolutely love. I love that even my youngest son can handle the baskets and I also love that the baskets keep the clutter hidden and contained. Labels help identify what goes where. You can read more about that here. [...]

I have two of these in our playroom (one for each child) and I love, love, love them! Picking up toys is so much easier when everything has a place. I love the card label idea, though. I will definitely be using that one. Thanks for posting.

A month or two ago I too invested in that same cubbie shelving for the play room. I bought different color cubes and each one has assigned something. Such as RED - Trains, BLUE - cars, GREEN - kitchen stuff, PINK - doll dress up etc.

I use this shelf in my closet to keep my folded clothes in. I’m not a fan of things hidden in drawers -I always forget what I have. =) I think it works great and It keeps the clothes in place so the stacks don’t fall over.

Great idea…i did a similar thing with sticky labels, but they either fell off or the little monsters tore them off;) My problem is I just have too many toys for too many categories. I’m seriously getting ready to purge them! I have done a lot with carry along containers. That way the kids can bring the whole box somewhere else to play.

I use these same baskets in my son’s room. We chose to use book cases and two of the baskets fit nicely into each shelve, so the bottom shelve of each bookcase has two. We love them. They are portable and easy to go through when they become mixed up (which they will.) You can purchase the baskets, in a variety of colors, at Target for about 6 dollars.

I have the same one . . . and I have a bunch of the bins for when I get others. This has been the best way to purge . . . each bin gets a category and the kids can keep what fits in. The cubby is in our playroom with the babysafe toys in in, and the kids legos and things stay up in their room in bins until the babies old enough that he won’t get into them. I have two different colors . . . eventually I’ll get a third so each kid has her/his own color. I’m surprised at how much the bins hold. I have photos here (have since added three more bins to the shelf and will at some point add labels): http://jessatkinson.typepad.com/jess_writes/2007/10/ah-nice-and-cle.html

I will have to try this we have one in the kids rooms but it does not seem to work near as well.
