Storage Solutions for Kids’ Puzzles

We have about 20 kids’ puzzles stacked on a bookshelf in our living room. They all fit there, but they’re a bit of an eyesore and it is difficult to access the one our kids ask for because inevitably that particular one is at the bottom of the stack!

As you can see, we need to find a better way to store these puzzles. This is challenging because the puzzles are a variety of different shapes and sizes. Moreover, a lot of the puzzles consist of trays into which pieces fit, so these can’t be stored vertically because the pieces will fall out. I’ve begun searching for storage ideas. Here’s what I’ve found.

I’ve also found some storage units available for purchase. I lean towards the DIY sort of options shown above because they tend to be affordable, but there are some great storage units available for a variety of prices.

Now that I’ve seen these ideas, I need to figure out what will work for our puzzles in the space we have available.

I’d love to hear your ideas! How do you store kids’ puzzles in your home?
