Great Ways to Store Many LEGOs

Storage Bins

• Medium and extra-large plastic storage bins by LEGO Education are stackable and have a transparent lid that snaps into place. The extra-large storage bin measures 16.5 inches by 12 inches by 10 inches and the medium storage bin measures 16.5 inches by 12 inches by 6 inches. Bins in different sizes are also available from other retailers and include plastic and fabric bins and rattan baskets -- all of which can be used to store lots of LEGOs.

Stackable Storage Bin

• LEGO Education advises that their stackable storage bins are especially useful if you have thousands of small LEGO parts. These bins can be used to separate LEGOs by color or shape or for storing other LEGO accessories. The bins, molded from high-density polypropylene, are rust- and corrosion-proof and stack securely atop each other. Unlike the medium and extra-large storage bins, LEGOs stackable storage bins do not have lids and measure 7-3/8 inches by 4-1/8 inches by 3 inches. Stackable storage bins, some with removable lids and stacked drawer carts with casters, are also available from other retailers.

Small Parts Storage Cabinet

• LEGO Education has a small parts storage cabinet that's described as "perfect for small LEGO parts." The cabinet, with transparent and dividable drawers, can be stacked or mounted to the wall. This allows you to identify and organize many LEGOs without difficulty. The 64-drawer cabinet has features that allow you to pull the drawers open with ease and to prevent the drawers from falling out. Small parts storage cabinets are also available in most hardware and craft stores.

Playwalls

• Playwalls by LEGO Education are storage units that are meant to be attached to a wall. A Playwall has a large baseplate where you can store LEGO or DUPLO bricks by snapping them onto the Playwall. The baseplate, also known as a building plate, is a textured-surface, flexible plastic board. A storage bin is attached to the bottom of the Playwall's baseplate to catch bricks that fall. Another similar option for storing LEGOs is to stack all the LEGOS onto several baseplates.
