Thank you Jo! I had one of these when I was a kid and it was perfect. Easy clean up for me and my Mom loved it! I was thinking of making one, but now I can save myself the trouble! Thank you!

I love the Lego table, but our place is too small. The Bricksacks at http://www.bricksack.com are the best solution we’ve found to organize and store all of my sons Legos.

This is my first visit to your site. I’m humbled by your organization, as I live in clutter-central. My 8yo is a Lego fanatic and it’s going to swallow my house whole, if I don’t get it under control. I, too, have looked into the Box4Blox concept (http://www.box4blox.com/index.html) – the video makes it look very appealing, though it seems pricey. They had a 10% off sale not too long ago, so I’m going to try and hold out for that again.

Thanks for all of these amazing ideas. I’ll be poking around some more!

Holy mud! That’s awesome. I would have LOVED that as a wee one. I’m totally stealing the idea for my craft room!

we are lego nuts here, and i saved all my legos from when i was kid and now we have a LOT. i use the plastic drawer things (sterilite? i think that’s the brand), and we sort by color, train tracks, people, bionicle. most colors have 2 drawers. you can see a little bit here though we’ve added another drawer unit to that.

for the instructions, we sort them by type (space, castle, town, etc), and put them in plastic sleeves, and those go in binders.

lastly (yes we are really lego maniacs), you can open a free account at http://www.peeron.com, and inventory your sets. then, when you want to build a set, you look up your set, it tells you how many you need of each piece and in what color, and you can find the pieces easy. we do this each winter when the kids want to build the train around the christmas tree. around thanksgiving i start collecting the pieces in a box, and then come mid-december when we put the tree up, they can build the train as if we just took it fresh out of the box.

that all said, those wooden drawers are beautiful. i may have to try and do something like that.

Luckily we don’t have that many still. We have 2 different sizes at the moment. Ones which are mega big. Those are stored in the original box it came in. The medium size ones I got at a garage sale and those too are in their container that they came in. Of course, I find them all over the house at times and that’s when I have to put them way up high so the kids don’t reach them and they come down again when they are good and promise not to put them all over the house again.

We store the larger lego’s for toddlers in a crate, and the boys legos are in under the bed storage contaniers.

i have 3 large bin TOPS that can be pushed underneath the coffee table. we do not separate..we dump. he also has a large bin TOP that is under a table in his bedroom- where he is being his creative self at this moment. The large spread out space allows him an easier way to find things yet easy enough to put away. I also have boxes marked “DS creations.” He likes building his own ‘minis.’ We put them in a box because he does not want to take them apart. We will need to start getting a bigger box.
