Lego Storage...

Lego storage has always been an ongoing battle for us, Walker loves to build a set but he also loves to just create things and then I find them here and there around the house. The sets get mixed up, pieces are missing from another set and so on. It drives me nuts because I don't know what piece goes to what set... Little Bug knows but if he's at school they sit out until we can figure out which bag they go in.

So after much research and months of trying to decide what to do to I think I figured out a way that can work for me and my desire to have a place for everything and will allow Walker's creativity to flow with out worrying about mixing up sets.

Decided to sort all the Lego sets by color! So this weekend there was many hours spend doing this...

I found this fishing tackle box which will work perfectly... they are all contained and easily accessible to build.

So now the new plan is... if you want to build a set... then you grab the instructions and "shop" for your pieces. If you want to just build then have at it. The Harry Potter sets are the most played with to date so they will stay in their own sets and not be into the current color idea.

So a peek into the reds...

I way underestimated his collection so I will need to get another fishing tackle box but once the project is complete I think it will be well worth it.

Yesterday he started to build a Lego set and I noticed he was picking it up... he was frustrated because he couldn't go any further because of a missing piece... reminded him of what we were doing and he was able to head downstairs and find his missing red piece... He said, " Wow this works great!"

So as long as no one mixes up all the colors, were good. There will be a loud "%$#@$%^" heard around the world if that ever happens!
