Best storage container for playroom? And basement playroom advice!

[JennJubie]

If your floor space is limited, but you have wall space, you could put up those laundry cabinets. Simple, but they give you storage, and leave your floor free for play space.

Ikea rocks for daycare stuff! My daycare is like an Ikea showroom, lol. My toys are in the one that looks like steps (3 steps with coloured plastic bins on guiding rails). I love it as the kids can reach all the bins and there's room on top of each section to put larger items. I also had, in my old centre, a cheap armoire (sp?) with child sized hangers for our dress up centre. Now I have a tv cabinet that has a large space for a tv on one side, which is where our stuffed toys go. The other side has a shelf in the middle. On top is a small tv, roku, dvd player. The bottom is for our puzzle/manipulatives. There are large drawers underneath on wheels. On one side is our diaper station, with all the children's diapers lined up, colour coded and wipes, creams, change pads, first aid kit in a basket. The other drawer is where we keep our dress up clothes now. Billy Bookcases (the super cheap 2 shelf ones) are fantastic! One is our craft supply station, the other is our reading centre. Also from Ikea which is fab....those big air element chairs. It's just a balloon type thing with various covers. We have the turtle, elephant and lady bug. The kids love them! There's also a great wall mirror that's unbreakable....big alligator round the frame. Very cool
