How To Organize & Effectively Store Children's Puzzles

Now that Lucas is getting older, he is accumulating a lot of puzzles that come in boxes. The boxes take up a lot of space...space that I would rather use for something else. What I do is store the puzzles in zip top bags instead. This way the puzzles pretty much lay flat and take up way less space. Just cut the front off the box so that your kids can still reference the puzzle image and store that along with the puzzle pieces inside the bag as well.

    Very cute!! We don't have very many puzzles, but we really struggle with all of the crazy Legos. This would work beautifully for that!

    Thanks for the great idea! We don't have that many puzzles yet but now Wild Man's taken an interest in them, I'm sure we'll accumulate more!

    Great Idea! I was just thinking the other day that I needed to find some way to organize all of my puzzle pieces.

    That's a fantastic idea! I just went through the puzzle/craft closet the other day, and with three boys the closet was a mess.
