If you're looking for a color-coordinated wall of bins or a toy bin label printable, you've come to the wrong place. I buy my bins at Walmart and I don't actually know what a printable is or why we would call it that. Isn't anything on your computer screen technically printable? Anyway...

This week, I reached my boiling point with Squinkies, magnet letters and Bananagrams embedded in the shag carpet of the playroom. I decided to act. The goal was to get the things with the most pieces as high up off the ground for my vertically-challenged children as possible, put the bits and pieces on lockdown with some snap closed bins and get some sort of handle on the Melissa and Doug sh#@!storm that our house has become.

I know you are going to want to Pin these so you can recreate in your own playroom at a later date! I'm sure my labels will look even better in a chocolate brown/aqua decorating theme. Now get organizing!
