    27 Ridiculously Clever Storage Products For All Your Kids' Stuff

    A faux wood stool, a unicorn beanbag cover, a macrame bow holder and more ingenious solutions that make de-cluttering (almost) fun.

    1. A nature-inspired tree trunk stool that looks so realistic no one will believe it's actually ~a storage bin in disguise~. Plus, it can hold kids or adults up to 220 lbs. Are you as *stumped* as I am by this clever invention?

    Promising review: "I was very pleased with this stool. It actually looks very good in person, just like the picture. Goes great with my son's treehouse theme in the playroom. He and his older cousins use it for a table more than they do to sit on, because it does sit up pretty tall (and he's over 3 feet tall). It stores A LOT; right now we have several Melissa & Doug dress-up costumes in ours. It's also very sturdy as a stool, I can sit on it without issue. However, the way you put it together is with a plastic ring in the top that is easy to take out, so if you have a young one who likes to take things apart, like me, you'll be putting this back together frequently, which is annoying." —Olivia

    Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in 15 styles).

    2. A pack of wall hooks made with real tree branches to hang toys, hats, headbands...or practically anything up to 96 oz, really. Hello, woodland-themed playroom.

    3. A double closet rod that'll let you hang your little one's clothes at eye level so they can independently dress themselves every morning — and actually like the outfit they're wearing (which is nothing short of a miracle, tbh).

    4. A macrame hair accessory holder if your child owns more bows than JoJo Siwa. This will show off their collection while looking overwhelmingly adorable on a wall.

    5. A roll keeper storage solution capable of holding 16 rolled-up shirts. It's especially great for any college student with a lot of t-shirts but not a lot of storage space in their dorm room.

    The Roll Keeper is based in Kelso, Washington that specializes in simply storage solutions.

    Promising review: "So I had something like this in mind for the end of son's bed for storing extra toys. Similar products cost double the price so I was worried this would be cheap and flimsy. BUT, it so isn't! What a wonderful product. I'm super happy with it. The quality by far exceeded my expectations! Super easy to put together, I mean, all you have to do is unfold and put the bottom insert in. EASY PEASY! It adds such a nice feel to his room. I love that it doubles as a bench. My 4 and 6-year-old like to sit on it and watch TV. The fact that it opens up on both sides is really nice too. My son can easily find toys in there. But my favorite part about this is the fact that it looks so nice. For the price you can't beat it!"—Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $34.98 (available in 11 colors and two sizes and fabrics).

    7. A Learning Resources Create-a-Space Storage Center for coralling all those school or art supplies that always seem to go missing when you need them the most. It's smartly designed with eight *removable containers* making it easy for the kiddos to take individual bins — and put them back when done.

    8. A water bottle organizer if you've ever had to swerve away from tumbling water bottles as soon as you open your kitchen cabinet. This rack allows you to stack water bottles and sippy cups and lay them flat for easy access.

    Promising review: "I’m not sure I could be more excited about this shelf! My cabinet’s shelves are awkwardly tall and ~50 years old (solid wood, i.e. not adjustable). This rack perfectly utilizes the height of the top shelf and organizes our kid cups and blender bottles so well. Now, I can see and reach everything AND nothing comes tumbling out of the cabinet when I open the door." —Pirate Fan

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    9. unicorn beanbag cover to save you from D-R-O-W-N-I-N-G in a sea of stuffed animals. Now you can *sprinkle magic dust* (aka stash plushies inside) to make 'em disappear and create ~cute as can be seating~ for the kiddos.

    Promising review: "We love the pink unicorn. We managed to fit 30+ medium sized stuffies and we still have room for more. It’s pretty comfortable but heavy when full. I do wish there were two handles instead of one, on the sides of it for easier and supportive lifting. Material itself is very soft and thick. I would recommend this to all the parents out there who are stressing over stuffed animal storage. I will be ordering more for birthday and Christmas gifts because this is a great product.."—Flautas

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in 12 styles and two sizes).

    10. A Crayola step stool with anti-slip grippy dots that'll not only give your munchkin a boost when they're going through the "I can do it all by myself" phase but also has a little storage cubby to stow away all their little treasures.

    11. Custom vinyl labels with adorable graphics you can apply to your toy storage bins so you know exactly where dolls, cars, puzzles, and Legos go at cleanup time. No more *dumping* everything in the closest bin.

    12. A pack of ingenious no-spill paint cups so budding artists can create their next masterpiece without leaving messy splatters and spills on the table. The best part? The lids keep any leftover paint from drying out.

    13. A bedside shelf perfect for kids' room or dorm room bunk beds to keep cell phones, water bottles etc. an arm's reach away! Actually, it's sooo ridiculously convenient you'll probably want one for yourself.

    Promising review: "Not only is there plenty of room for 6 rubber animals, complete foam alphabet and 10-digit numbers, and other random toys, this organizer actually sticks to the wall! I used windex on the wall just like the instructions explained, turned the hook, and voila! They stuck to a wall that's not exactly a flat surface. Also, I love this toy bag because it leaves corner tub space available for shampoo, conditioner, and soap bottles. In my house, that extra space is priceless! Don't look any further than this product. It is AWESOME."—Sara

    Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two sizes and pre-stocked with toys or by itself).

    19. Or a bathtub caddy to de-clutter a bathtub filled to the brim with toys and serve up an assortment from one handy place.

    20. And a clear shower curtain liner with roomy mesh pockets to not only keep that expensive shampoo out of reach from the kiddos, but also to store the absurd amount of toys cluttering up the tub ledge.

    21. Invisible floating shelves so you can *clearly* show off your kid's collection of Funko Pops or Knuffle Bunny books — and pretend they're ~magically levitating~ over the walls.

    Promising review: "I was surprised by the quality. The are perfect, I tried to set up one up and put some Funkos on and it’s perfect!! Because they are clear it looks like the Funkos are floating in the air. I’m ordering more later. They are worth the price. Thanks!!"—Luisa

    Promising review: "Absolutely worth the money. The set was a steal. We’re obsessed with my daughter's library corner (at least mom is). Also super easy to install, took me less than 45 mins to install (with all the measurements and all). No words but love love love. Definitely recommend!"—Princess Misay

    Get a pack of four from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).
