Toy Boxes for All Tastes

Big toy chests or boxes can get overused; they don't work well for small toys, or toys with small parts, since those small things get lost in a large box. But they do have their uses for larger items — and some toy boxes are small enough to still be useful for smaller items.

Let's look around, starting with the charming Leka Trojan Horse — a combination toy, stool and storage item. Leka suggests you use it for storing things like blocks. You can buy it here.

For a more traditional toy box, take a look at those from Pintoy — available many places, including Amazon UK.

And I've mentioned the modular ViaBoxes before — but it was a long time ago, and they deserve another look.
