The BEST Lego Storage Hack — That Millennial Momma

All parents know there is no pain like stepping on a LEGO. Honestly, that is how my kids have learned most of their more colorful phrases.

Unless you want to invest boatloads of money in a table that has limited storage, there are few options to combat the endless mess that comes with a love of all things LEGO….until now.

I have DIYed the last LEGO storage organization idea that you will ever need. And the final cost was about $50. Do yourself a favor and get supplies for two because a holiday doesn’t go by without LEGO gifts.

All that you need for this LEGO storage hack is this Container Store Poppin brand cube (that doubles as an ottomon/seat) and this LEGO DUPLO baseplate. If your kids are old enough for the original size LEGOs, you will have to try another baseplate that measures 15”x15” like the gray base plate in this bundle.

The baseplate will be installed on the underside of the lid, so measure the base plate before purchasing. The 15'“x15” baseplate that I have fits perfectly inside my storage cube. If it is smaller than 15”x15”, you will see a little of the underside of the lid on the perimeter, but I don’t see any reason why this wouldn’t still function just fine.

I hot glued the base plate onto the underside of the storage cube lid. This didn’t last as long as I would like, so I am going to try some double sided velcro strips. I’m sure there are more ways to attach the two items. Just go through your toolbox to see what you have at your disposal.

And that’s it.

I let all the LEGO sets comingle inside the storage cube. When the kids are playing, they set the lid on their lap and they have a padded tray on which to build. When were’ done, we put the lid on and the LEGO madness is hidden inside.

This organization hack has lasted me years and saved my feet from a lot of LEGO induced pain. And the most recent bonus has been that the cube part of this LEGO organization idea is the perfect height for my one year old to stand and reach for the LEGOs. Anything that buys me some time when ALL of my children are playing, is well worth the price tag.
