Our kid’s bedroom didn’t have a good storage to keep their toys organizes. So we decided to build this piece to keep their toys at least in one area. A lot of time they had their toys on the floor in a corner but now with this DIY Storage for Toys that we built will help them keep it more organized. Here are the step to build it.
- Cut and Attach Bottom Piece to Backside
- Attach Sides with Pocket Hole Screws
- Attach the Front Board to the Sideboards
- Assemble the Upper Section of the Storage
- Finish by Attaching the Front Piece
This is a very simple and inexpensive project to build using only plywood. Material cost about $35, depending on what type of plywood you purchase.
My wife built this Toys storage mainly by herself. See the video below.
