While the kids were doing this yesterday.
I decided to clean and organize the outside toy box. This is what it looked like, plus lots of spiders and webs you can’t see.
First, I dumped everything out and washed and scrubbed out the storage box.
Then, I washed the toys and put them all in piles (like with like).
Pool Toys and Balls
Outside Toys and Sand Toys
And broken toys. Of course, this pile gets tossed in the garbage.
Next, I went to the basement to see what plastic baskets or crates I had on hand, to be able to use to contain the toys. The big blue milk crate holds the balls and outside toys.
The little yellow basket holds the water and pool toys.
The sand bucket holds the sand toys and bug catchers.
The big sand toys and life vest are against the back wall. The sprinkler and pool float are next to the crate.
No, I’m not delusional. I don’t think it will stay this way long, but everything is clean and I know it all fits and has a place. All the broken toys are tossed and it won’t take long to put everything away when it’s time.
