I’ve got it! Laundry baskets! No, I’m not planning on hanging out the wash too. A laundry basket makes the best toy bin for all the outside toys. You can find them tall and skinny or short and wider depending on what type of storage space you have. Get a strong plastic one with comfortable grips and nice size holes. Pay a few extra dollars for a sturdier one and it will last longer. They are so easy to clean with a hose and will air out quickly in the sun. Toss in all the trucks, balls, horseshoes, golf clubs, bubbles and other back yard toys.
Come play time, carry them out and dump. The kiddos have immediate access to their stuff and clean up is so simple for them to help pitch in. We have one with regular toys and another for all the “wet play” toys for the pool and sprinklers. They fit nicely along the wall of the garage all year long.
What are your easy organizing tips?

Good idea!
You're so cute! My mom does the same thing with the boys toys. It works perfect and she just leave it in the sun porch.
Girl getting out ... LOL see the nice thing about that shop is it's between work and daycare ... LOL
Sad thing is they are moving and won't be so easy ;(
That's a fabulous idea! Plus, it makes it easy to put them in a concealed place so that outside toys don't get used inside (can you say basketball in the kitchen?!).
So very smart! I love the multiple uses of a laundry basket.
That makes good sense!!! I have all my outdoor stuff in big rubbermaid totes which is great for keeping them clean but I can't remember at all what's in there so it tends to go unused.
I like your idea!
You know I love this... I am working on a similar post and will link to this.
That is an awesome idea. Some toys don't need to come inside and having a special bin outside is a great thing. Thanks! :)
