Plastic Storage Bins- Blocks, doll clothes, small toy cars, Tinkertoys, and all the other loose items floating around the house belong together.

Find the totes a size larger with handles on the top for easy carrying to and from the play area.Larger tubs hold blocks, play food and dishes, and other pieces that just seem to multiply in the night.
