Toys are both a blessing and a curse. Play is an essential part of learning and childhood, but no one knows pain like a parent who has just stepped on the wrong side of a loose Lego. With every new “must-have” toy on the market, that collection continues to grow. Perhaps your child’s toys are neatly stored in a play room, or maybe they’ve taken over every corner of your living space. No matter how you’re currently handling a potential “toy overload,” you may find that a new toy chest is a welcome addition to your organizational arsenal.
