This and That by Din: Lego Organization

If you have kids, there is a very good chance that they have a bunch of Lego. My son, as an abundant amount of Lego. I have over the years attempted to organize his Lego for him, but never quite like this.

We had an old TV console which we were not using, as we got rid of the second Television. So I opted to use it for my sons Lego. It gave him a work surface and also a couple of drawers to store his Lego. As the years progressed I got tired of having the Lego in our rec room and decided to rearrange his room and move the Lego to his room, with the console.

We spent approx. 45 minutes going through the 3 tubs of Lego that he had from before, which we had originally sorted in categories. This time I decided that the smaller pieces would be better sorted in a small container with dividers, since the small pieces are always so hard to find, and he had so many of the same kind. Here is the container which housed his small items at first.

I went through all the items and picked out the specialty items and put them in a container with dividers that I purchased at the Dollar Store (originally for my craft room).

Then there were all those instruction manuals that come with the Lego, that were stacked in his bookshelf and always seamed to be in the way. I decided that I would take one of my old binders from College (I know - I can't believe that I still had them) and I used sheet protectors from Staples. I had extras, as I have lots of them in different binders for storage. You can get a package of 100 Staples brand for about $15.
