This is one of my favorite toy solutions ever - I'm still using it many years later!  I love that the larger portion is perfect for stuffing bigger toys, but you can use the smaller cubbies for sorting.  And there's a little space on top too.  This is a good plan made from 1x12s, and has held up well.  It would make a great gift.

Bins, bins, bins! Using 1x12 boards create stacking bins, easy to modify for your space. These bins are great for organizational storage for just about anything, today we focus on all the toys. The design includes nice open storage for easy reach and clean up. 

This ladder design bookshelf with toy storage is great for the bedside nighttime storybooks and bedroom play! Nice and compact for any space or room for some extra book and toy storage. 

Toy boxes that stack and store, and can be turned over to be used as a play table. Great for small spaces and multiple children!

This is a large, versatile toy bin that features many different options for storing toys of all sizes!  It is a plywood based project, but you could also use 1x12s, although it will create narrower storage.

This beautiful farmhouse toy box is easy to build with common pine boards. We have simplified the design to make this a beginner friendly build! Works great in a living room to double up as a coffee table too.

Just say no to the cheap particle board organizers and simply build one of solid wood that will last and last. The design allows so much flexibility for how many units you build, size of bins, height, width, etc. This plan allows for any type of storage imaginable. Use in any room, even as a TV stand to keep the toys in the main living area for easy access and pick up.

We love this raised toy box!  There's room underneath for stools, storage or bigger toys! This plan is easy to modify the height, width and depth for whatever you want to use underneath.

Seen here as a train trundle, this plan is easy to use for extra storage for toys too! A great space saving option, allows children to pull out and play, and push back under the bed when done. This trundle can be made to any size, or add dividers for different types of play!

Toybox by day, cozy reading spot by night.  This toybox ottoman features a lift off lid and a large storage compartment.  Use caster wheels to create a moving seating surface and toybox in one.

This beautiful coffee table has a secret!  The top panels remove, with lots of storage inside.  We love it as a play table (legos and lincoln logs anyone?) or a workcenter for your laptop, or just a place to store board games, toys, extra blankets, or magazines.  

I like to call these "clean your own room" bins for preschoolers. They may not be old enough to organize, but even toddlers can stuff stuffed animals into these bins. Use this open storage base on it's own or combine with bookshelves, a hutch or cubbies! This open shelf bin holds tons of toys and can be easily modified for any space!

For that Pottery Barn Kids look on a budget, build your own toy storage wall system!  This is an entire collection of plans.
