What do you need

When your child's collection of plush toys reaches volumes where clutter is inevitable, the need for proper storage becomes apparent. Many children remain very deeply attached to their stuffed toys; getting rid of them in order to maintain order in the house can be difficult and even painful. Whether you have 5 stuffed animals or 100 stuffed animals, choosing a convenient way to store them is necessary if you want them not to be scattered on the floor. There are many ways you can store stuffed animals. Some methods allow you to quickly find the right stuffed toy. Other options are best for longer storage. Use the following steps to choose the most suitable storage option for your stuffed toys.

Steps

1 Install shelves or shelves. Choose a suitable place to set up the shelving unit in your child's room. Once the shelf is in place, place small, rarely used stuffed animals on the top shelves. This storage method is best when you need to see toys. If your child often uses his soft toys, it would not be very advisable to place them on the shelves, since he will not be able to get this or that toy on his own.
2 Purchase a special basket for stuffed toys. Check out websites that offer such specialized storage devices. Usually these are tall baskets with a narrow shape and bending rods. The child can easily reach the toy; soft toys are not scattered on the floor; and such a basket takes up a minimum of space.
3 Use the toy chest. Place a chest or toy box at the foot of your bed or next to your bed, like a nightstand. At the bottom of the chest, place those soft toys that your child rarely plays with, but would like to keep. A chest can be both an attractive piece of furniture and a neat storage device.
4 Hang a toy hammock. Attach a hammock net to the corner of your child's room. Place stuffed toys in the hammock until it is full.
5 Place small stuffed animals in the open shoe storage pockets. Hang the shoe organizer on the inside of your child's door. Insert small stuffed toys into special pockets.
6 Pull a clothesline across the room and attach toys to it. Pull a clothesline or heavy thread from one side of the room to the other. Use clothespins to hang small to medium-sized stuffed toys on it.
7 Pack soft toys in an airtight bag. Prepare large plastic bags or bags of thick plastic material. Place as many stuffed toys as possible in there.Use a vacuum cleaner to suck the air out of the inside of the bag. Some plastic storage bags have internal holes for the vacuum cleaner.

Tips

Rearrange stuffed toys on shelves and shelves regularly to prevent dust from accumulating on them.
Consider using acid-free paper to wrap old stuffed animals in before storing them for long periods of time. This protects the toys from many adverse factors.

Warnings

Avoid storing soft toys in damp areas. Moisture can lead to the formation of mold, which is hazardous to health. In addition, mold can ruin soft toys.
Do not store soft toys in wooden boxes for a long time. The tree attracts termites and other insects that can damage toys.
