I'm especially interested in how you store your thick, chunky puzzles. I bought that Melissa and Doug Wood Storage Case and was so disappointed that it doesn't fit the chuncky puzzles, which is all we have!

Also, what's a safe, kid-friendly toy box you can recommend? We have a Little Tikes box, but the lid doesn't stay up when he lifts it and it bops him on the head sometimes. Chat Icon Plus, it comes completely off.

I'd love to see what other moms do! Thanks!

I use the Ikea Trofast toy storage system. It is amazing and holds so much stuff in an organized way. I store my big chunky or knob puzzles on one of the "shelves". I have two of the ones that look like steps.

We have the Trofast system as well. It's perfect! And there are so many ways to configure it to what best suits your needs. For puzzles, we bough a wire puzzle rack.

We have a wire rack from Target. I actually scored one a week or two ago for a friend during their clearance sale for 10 bucks. It fits the Melissa and Doug puzzles. We have a few of the oversized ones that it does not fit, but for the most part, fit every one of the puzzles in our house.

I have the Little Tikes toybox and just leave the lid open for DD. M&D puzzles are in a crate.
