February 13th, 2016 1:15 PM by Christopher Terry

Kids are messy. No matter how hard you try, if you have kiddos running around it is nearly impossible to keep the place clean. This is why storage is a must. And storage that appeals to your kids will give them even more of a reason to want to clean up! Below we have five easy storage ideas that can get even the fussiest tot excited to clean. DIY Library Corner

Have a child who loves to read? Or maybe you just want to instill the value of reading at a young age? Either way a library corner is the perfect way to keep all of the books organized. All you need is a free corner in your child's room or playroom, vinyl rain gutters, end caps, and wood screws.

Cut the vinyl to size, add the end caps so your kiddies don't hurt themselves on the sharp corners, and hang the gutters at kid level so they can pick the books out themselves.

Add a colorful beanbag chair or a few small seats for your children and you have a perfect place to store all of their books.

Have you ever stepped on a Lego? If not then you have been blessed with not feeling one of the most annoyingly painful feelings in the world. If you are sick and tired of finding Legos all around your house, consider making this inexpensive Lego Storage Table.

The table simply made of 3 plastic draws, a 4 foot board, and a couple of cute stools. Adhere to board to two of the plastic draws, and keep the third loose so you can pull it in and out when the kids use the table.

To stay even more organized, you can organize each draw with specific colored Legos.

It is such an easy way to keep all of the Legos in one place, plus kids your kids will love having a place to build their Legos without being moved. It's a win-win!

Paint the figurines and the jar lids solid bright colors and then simply glue the animal to the lid and voilĂ !

The best part is that this project is easy enough to do with your own little helper, letting it double as a fun activity to do on a winter's day!
