HOME+GARDEN SMART STORAGE SOLUTIONS IN 2020 CONT. CHILD-FRIENDLY STORAGE PLAY & GO, GLOW IN THE DARK TOY STORAGE BAG We all know that with kids comes loads more stuff! From early days of infinite nappies and sleepsuits, to a mountain of toys, books and crafts, and of course all their hand-made or scavenged ‘treasures’ that need to be stored. Look for some high-quality, long-lasting and height-appropriate storage that can be used for books, crafts and toys; that not only offers years of storage potential but also a focal point in a nursery, bedroom or playroom. Ottomans and blanket boxes not only offer easy-to-access storage space but also double up as a seat for quiet reading time. Baskets offer the easy ‘scoop ‘n’ throw’ option at the end of a busy play session, whilst the ingenious Play & Go, Glow in the Dark Toy Storage Bag (£29, www.bobbyrabbit.co.uk), offers a practical and kid-friendly solution! Opened up it is the perfect playmat. And when play is done - simply place all those tiny building blocks, dolls, cars, lego etc. in the centre, pull the handy drawstring and voila - an instant toy storage bag!
