Genius Storage Hacks for a Mess-Free Play Area With OneDayOnly

Parenting hack #101: When you organise your kids’ play area, everyone wins. Toys are easier to find, tantrums are fewer, and cleanup becomes part of the fun (well, almost). Your little ones could be into arts and crafts, outdoor toys, or imaginary cooking in their mini play kitchen. We've got the goods to help you keep everything neat, tidy, and tantrum-free. With OneDayOnly, turning chaos into calm is easier and cheaper than ever.

Storage That Plays as Hard as They Do

Let’s face it - your kids don’t just play; they live in their play areas, so your storage solutions have to keep up. The trick is to blend functionality with fun, making tidying up feel like part of the play.

Our top tip? Think vertically. Wall-mounted cubbies and hanging organisers are perfect for freeing up precious floor space in both indoor and outdoor play areas. Add labels or pictures to each section, so even your toddlers can learn where things go. Bonus: it teaches responsibility without them even realising it.

Then there's the humble toy box, a classic for a reason. Look for one with wheels to make moving between rooms a breeze. Some even double as a bench or mini table, perfect for their next tea party or indoor play adventure.

Smart Zones = Smarter Play

Divide and conquer. Create dedicated zones for different types of play, think an art station, a reading corner, or even a mini play kitchen. This not only helps keep clutter contained but also boosts creativity and focus. One area, one activity, less mess. Easy.

Have a game area? Use stackable bins or drawers to store board games, puzzles, and craft supplies. Clear containers let kids see what’s inside without turning everything upside down first. That’s what we call a win-win.

Store It Like It’s Hot  

Not all toys are created equal; some are better off outside. Think water blasters, scooters, and sand toys. For your outdoor toys, try weather-resistant storage boxes or benches that keep things protected from the elements. Not only does this help toys last longer, but it keeps your patio or outdoor playset looking sharp.

When it comes to your indoor playground setup, opt for soft baskets and bins that are lightweight and easy to move. They're safer for kids and gentler on your floors (and toes).

Hide-and-Play

Storage that doubles as furniture? Yes, please. Stools, benches, and even coffee tables with hidden compartments are perfect for kids' play areas, especially in shared living spaces. Keep it stylish and mess-free without sacrificing function.

And if you’ve got a party coming up, these hidden gems also double as the perfect stash spot for party packs or extra food before the big reveal. Genius.
