20 Lego Storage Ideas for Girls

This post is sponsored by Lego Friends

Lego would have to be the most used toy in our home, so much so that a few years ago we made my son a Lego Storage Unit in his bedroom dedicated to displaying his creations!  However we haven’t made a dedicated space for the girls Lego, they have so much of the Lego Friends collection, cute little homes, vets, pools, horse stables and many more.  So these past holidays the girls had a blast getting creative.  Below I’ve shared my girls Lego storage ideas, plus some from our readers and more.

Lego Storage Idea

My girls like to sit together on a table and build their Lego Friends creations.  I think this is fabulous as it gets them together, communicating and helping each other.  I shared last week how this is a great bonding time for my girls and some of the benefits of building Lego, one being working with instructions helps improve understanding of steps.

When the girls open a packet they place it directly into dishes so they don’t get mixed up or fall on the floor.

I leave the girls alone to build their Lego which helps them work independently to follow the steps and when they find they have done something wrong they try to work it out themselves or with each other, which helps to improve their problem solving skills.

My Girls Lego Storage Idea

I purchased this metal LERBERG shelving unit for under $50 from Ikea a few years ago, looks like they no longer sell it, but this MULIG unit looks just as good.   We cut MDF to fit the size of the shelving, then the girls and I painted on some roads, grass and water, see more details here.
