How to Organize Toys (so they ACTUALLY stay tidy) 🎉

[@Clutterbug]

What's your favorite toy storage solution?

[@jennifer7648]

Still trying to figure it out 😏 However, I still LOVE purging and decluttering!

[@lunagabriella213]

It's those drawers you hate! But I use my dresser for literally anything not clothes so it can be my taller night stand :) Seeing my stuff drove me crazy till I did this the other day, then yesterday I micro organized the CRAP out of them! IT FEELS SO GOOD! I'm still in retail hell and want a clean, minimal looking space lately. No decor out yet, either. Still deciding on it. I'll come home with glitter on me lol.

[@narelleworks8448]

I love cube shelving. Wish I’d had it for my 3 kids when they were young. It’s my basic storage system for my toys ie fabric, stationery, products for cleaning , etc.

[@elizabethanne6361]

I love cube shelves. I love organizing into bins!

[@iw1646]

I also love the cube shelves nur I have to say when kids really set up some great little "world" I let them have it out for a week or two as long as they actually play with it. Also lego tables are great - not on tje floor where you can walk into it

[@TheMinimalMom]

Alright...I’ll give you the cube shelf for toys! 😉👍 great ideas!!!

[@aprilknutson2809]

I laughed because in your recent video you just bought TWO of them. 😂

[@jfallis9082]

Dawn...Dawn...Dawn, ok im goons need you to post a video on how you Christmas shop for $20 per kid . Show me your ways!

[@lilyb33]

Wait, cubes for the boys room? 😂

[@brookewhite1984]

I'm on Dawn's bandwagon with being a minimalist, but I may try just using cubes instead of dressers, especially since I have two boys (age 12 &4) whom share a bedroom and it's just too much with 2 dressers!

[@Donna-C]

Kids love visual systems - the cubes, the labels, clear containers.

[@crystaleverets3602]

You and Dawn are my favourite youtubers!

[@corrinelillard1267]

They both are my favs as well!!

[@catcrazy8]

Mine too! They are both so down to earth and relatable. Awesome content!

Dawn's video on paper clutter helped me get rid of piles of paper. She's amazing! You're amazing too, and I love that lego bag.

[@esmazivalj4582]

Hey, I just love that you mention people like the Minimal Mim who do things different than you. I love watching you and her and in that hopefully find what works best for me! Thank you for all of your videos. You're always a breath of fresh air!

[@CULady]

the minimal mom helped me clear out all the excess stuff and you helped me figure out the right organization system for our family! My house stays clean!! Between the two of you you have made the last two years awesome journey!❤️💚

[@julias259]

I love the cubes AND Dawn just bought 2 cube units for her boy's room!

[@samarakennewell5342]

I just saw that as well! And that was my thought Cass influenced her!

[@virusbebola]

At last, some concrete, well thought of, toy organizing system

[@Clutterbug]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the tips!

[@MrsTikiGod]

You and Dawn are my home guru's! Like you, I don't want to be a minimalist, but I have way more than I want. Dawn gives me downsizing ideas and you give me ideas for organizing the stuff that makes the cut! Do you have any videos about dealing with sentimental things?

[@crybebebunny]

Thank you for putting yourself out here. I love your energy, enthusiasm, and the way you allow us into your world. I love the under the bed drawer idea, it's perfectly wonderful. Your Wonderful way of seeing Dawn got me to give her channel a second glance. Thank you. 🌎🧭🎠🌠☃️

[@slcarey17]

Love cubes too. Also too funny because Daen just went and got cube shelves for her boys' room. 😂

[@kimberlymayo9951]

Ha...your right! I forgot she did that. Too funny!

[@wildminders2233]

She did!! 🤔🤣

[@susangoslin8120]

Lol yes. I couldn't believe that when I saw her video today.

[@judym4673]

I have followed both of you “ girls” for years ! You’re both Awesome and Amazing 😃💕😃

[@JenniferatHome]

Cas, You and Dawn are both incredible! You two are my all time favorites..... Inspiring me to start my own KZbin Channel!!! Between the two of you, I believe I can clear clutter, and get organized! Thank you so much!!! “Jennifer At Home.”

[@kymmarye]

That’s (Minimal Mom) how I found your channel, she recommended you! I am not a minimalist either I do like things organized and I lean toward having minimized amount of stuff (just not minimalist).

[@queenofputrescence5167]

I LOVE the Minimal Mom. I've been following her for about two years now. I definitely lean towards minimalism, BUT I have to agree with you on the cube shelves. When it comes to kids, that is definitely the way to go versus dressers. My kids are in their late teens, but I wish I had these ideas you shared years ago. I would have stored everything differently!

[@Judy-fw7fl]

I LOVE cube shelves too. I use them for everything, but for my crafty stash it really is a game changer.

[@ktjomeyers]

I'm addicted to your channel and Dawn's channel. 😍 You are my reward when I get home from work. 😂 Thanks for the inspiration!

[@catp4861]

You always have such great ideas for storage. I love Dawn, & because of her, I found you. You are both amazing people, & we are all blessed that you share your lives, & ideas with us. Thanks Cas!

[@marieskee22]

I love both you and Dawn. Dawn helps me to get rid of the crap. You, Cas, help me to organize and clean the crap that is left!!!

[@natureselement7588]

I love the change over to cube shelves it's made this moms life so much easier. ❤ I need to heal from surgery so I can get this house back in order. I wish I could be a minimalist cause it would make my life so much easier and I know I'd love it it's just starting the journey that's the hard part.

[@LaydeeHijabee]

I’m a ladybug being bossed around by my butterfly kids. You have been so helpful 😊

[@marysimpson8457]

Thank you for being such an inspiration and the bonus of giving Dawn from The Minimal Mom a shoutout.....you both are incredible motivators and much appreciated!

[@ashandu]

I love you and Dawn! Dawn inspires to live with things intentionally and then you show me creative ways to store and organize that makes sense to all the "bugs" accessing the items. I'm so grateful for you both!

[@emilygatsos8112]

I LOVE the Minimal Mom! She’s actually how I found you!

[@cassieoz1702]

I'm 65 and the daycare I went to as a three year old, used the sorted storage bin/drawer system

[@chandragablaze2075]

The cube shelf is THE best thing I have ever done! I use it as dresser. My kids (4 and 2) are allowed to pick out by themselfes, I dont fold clothes anymore and if the bin is full its time to declutter clothes!! Best investment I made so far!

[@meaxoxo-oh8kr]

Yes cube storage is the way to go! Been doing it for 3 years now and I love it! My daughters are 7 and 4 and are really good on knowing what goes back in what bin without the labels, probably because we've been doing it for awhile now.

[@FurTheCasa]

Do you know which cubes these are? I'm going to Ikea tomorrow but I ended up with analysis paralysis last time I went and I just left 😪

[@meaxoxo-oh8kr]

@@FurTheCasa aww lol. I'm pretty sure these are the ones she has in the video! www.ikea.com/us/en/p/droena-box-white-00306270/

[@meaxoxo-oh8kr]

@@FurTheCasa here are some nice rattan storage bin options too at IKEA www.ikea.com/us/en/p/branaes-basket-rattan-00138432/

[@StaciMonster]

Totally agree that cube storage is the way to go. But no more than two rows high for under 5's because its harder for them to take out and put back any higher than that. I've also found that clear bins really help kids find what they're looking for (in addition to the picture sticker on the front).

[@tinaspencer3509]

Love cube units 💗 they are so easy for my kiddos to use. I popped over and checked out Dawn's channel after you mentioned her last time. She has some great content. She uploaded a video earlier today and I watched it just before yours 😂😂 I've also been back and watched a few of her older ones where she is sharing tips on decluttering and how to become a minimalist, like you I don't think I will ever be a minimalist I'm a clutterbug through and through but it was motivating 😊

[@charmedpipper1]

I'm watching this for myself, I've gone through and cleaned my room properly for the first time with help from my parents, I'm 23 and it feels amazing. Ive one issue though, I have a lot of stuffies/teddies from the past couple years that i want to display somewhere, I still cuddle some and when my sisters kids come over they play with them. So what can i do with them? Any and all advice is appreciated. Thank you.

[@jennifer7648]

While watching your video, I was going to ask if there is a minimalist you recommend checking out, then you did😊 I will for sure see what works for us from Dawn too. Thank you!

[@shymar08]

I’m not a minimalist, but Dawn makes so much sense in how she explains things. She’s become my fave minimalist on utube! She makes me want to get rid of my stuff! Lol

[@jenniferbarney4220]

You are right, Dawn us awesome. And so are you!!

[@allieblank5992]

Oh man. Why didn’t I know about this lego bag years ago! That bag looks life changing. 😃

[@hilaryfiskeaux8970]

OMGosh, replacing the dressers for my teen and tween, THANK YOU! 🤯

[@JHW44]

O my gosh!! A lego bag! I never knew that existed that would make life so much easier

[@meg11914]

I found you through Dawn and I love you both 💕

[@saintinlower48]

For my 15 year old who has lots of games, I purchased sturdy 4-tier stainless steel shelves and stacked them nearly all out in the open. Usually, I like everything hidden, but with his games, it's been out-of-sight-out-of-mind in his bedroom. But no more. :) And it's neat and orderly.

[@simply.clutterfree]

I hear you. I struggled for years with toy storage... What worked was this style of system + minimizing their toy inventory ☺️

[@Tawanda95]

I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being a real mom with practical ideas. You make me feel better by seeing the same struggles. Your approach of clutter and organization has become my go to. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@mimiepperson7116]

Cas, how do you recommend storing dollhouses and bigger toys? 🥴 My daughter has so many Little People things like a house, barn, camper etc. I don’t know what to do with all that.

[@devans2724]

This! We have cube shelves but all the houses and cars etc take up all the shelves and don't leave room for anything else.

[@julieyoung2876]

I love what you said about not having to be a minimalist but you can have less 🙌

[@jennifernichol782]

I just donated a bunch of my daughter’s toys to get ready for Christmas and her birthday. Feels great to declutter.

[@siukwan88]

Best and most realistic advice ever !!

[@GandDMcInnes]

Both you and Dawn from The Minimal Mom are two of my favourite youtubers. I am not sure if it means I am all over the place but more likely you both give great advice! Definitely the latter !

[@JHCWillis]

Dawn is awesome. So are you. You are both inspirational

[@Urolove]

I was just looking into a cube shelf! The look on my husbands face told me i may need to wait until next year. haha. I might have spent a lot on my 4 year old for xmas. I am down to becoming a minimalist once my daughter is a little older but i love having tons of toys for her. She's an only and toys are her friends and what keeps her busy and learning. "Someday" i will miss all the clutter, today won't be that day. ;)

[@bonnierodriguez2491]

I started following Dawn a few months ago. I think one of her videos popped up in my suggested list. She is great! I love your idea for storing lego creations under the bed. My son actually has a trundle bed, so they will fit perfectly in there. He has sooo many and he insists on keeping them intact, so now I can free up some shelf space, thanks!!!

[@cherylel-issawi1827]

Thanks for sharing. I’ve always wanted to use cubes for my daughter’s room and now I’ve made up my mind. Love how your kids’ rooms are. So beautiful 🤩

I’m so into the nerf gun storage on the peg boards! OMG and the Lego drawer for under the bed! Genius! Thank you 💫

Great ideas, I love your lego drawer under the bed, thank you! Edit: I also love that you're not a minimalist and can still be organized and clutter free.

I started following you but because of a previous (KZbin) collaboration that you did. I am a Minimalist, but also a ladybug. Both of you have given me the best solutions. The Minimal Mon for more tips to minimize, but something was missing and it was really an aha moment when I started following you. Thank you ❤

[@franceswright8277]

Absolutely fabulous! Great Great Great ideas

[@DM-ss4fm]

I use the cubes for everything and got rid of my son's dresser to use an Ikea bin system. We have the lego bag and more it is great. I have added some micro organization like separating out the lego people.

[@dutchkel]

I replaced my dresser with a cube organizer in my closet. As an ADD person I needed to see my folded clothes better to see what I had and to easily put away. Works for me! I have ikea stacking rolling see thru bins to store most of my kids toys but cube bins are probably safer and easier...

[@sandyseibelhager7131]

I love Dawn and her family too

[@victoriakilbreath1403]

I found your channel through the minimal mom! I love both your channels, I’m more minimalist but my husband is not. I’ve been watching all your butterfly videos to find organizing solutions that will work for him.

[@courtneylirette7331]

Between the hotwheel tracks, cars, and billions of legos.. I fell like im going to lose my mind 😜 im going to buy a cube shelf and I really like that pegboard idea.. and omg the lego bag....... my son has a lego table but they never get back into the table and he doesn't build on top of it... but that bag is kind-of genius!!

[@GoiterGoblin]

I love your practical LEGO storage ideas. I have tried to get my kids to put theirs in plastic tubs to no avail, instead their LEGOs live on a train table all of the time. It’s time for us to try out the storage bag!

Actually when me and my sister were little we sorted all of our legos by color in ziplock bags! Extra parts like minifigs, accessories, ect ect went in this small pink lego brick shaped box that I still have and repurpose for my craft supplies now.

[@jamskof]

we already have the exact same cube system.. does not work for us at all, they pull them down, if something they want is in the bottom, the box gets emptied, mess everywhere. also have the same lgo system haha, that doesnt work for us either, we have a lot of lego, it spills out of the sides, plastic sealed tubs work for us.. almost. i think the lego boards within the big drawer / box is a really great idea, you could actually divide it and have the lego in one quarter of the box, keeping it all there so that bag doesnt get dragged around the house!

[@paolavitale5013]

This is amazing!! Thanks 😊

[@mibella011]

Love this Cas!

[@CaitHoover]

Hang on, so is there a video about doing a cube organizer as a dresser? I'm interested. Do you fold things, do you just throw it in (my inner ladybug)? Do you utilize it with the closet or alone? If you're telling me I can be lazier, I'm in.
