Use the top compartments for items you don’t use as frequently, such as tights, socks, shoes, bloomers and hair bows.

Mid-way down, store diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream and natural baby lotion.

As your child gets older, use this one storage solution with many uses to get items such as stuffed animals and Barbie dolls up off the floor.

3. Art and craft supplies storage.

Keep items you don’t want your kids to have easy access to, such as scissors, hot glue gun and sticks, Elmer’s glue, and paint up in the top compartments.

Work your way down using the compartments to store other items such as colored pencils, hole punch, paint brushes, pens, highlighters, glue sticks, markers, rulers, tape, stickers, popsicle sticks, yarn and so on.
