Personalized Toy Basket

Toy baskets are a parent’s best friend…

Because they spend so much of their time picking up toys off the floor. Again and again and again.

Someone has to pick up those 50 Hot Wheels cars and those 150 pieces of Mega Bloks. Yes, I make my kids help me a lot of the time but sometimes it’s just faster and easier to do it myself.

Toy baskets make it easy for parents (and kids) to clean up from room to room and the pretty baskets make cute storage space.

Their open top makes it simple to take things in and out, and they’re light enough even the kids can move them around. They can be filled with anything from large wooden toys to soft stuffed animals. They are just so convenient!

Life with children is a beautiful mess and toy baskets make it cleaner and more organized.

DIY Personalized Toy Basket

A gift I like to give for baby showers and kids’ birthdays is a Personalized Toy Basket with a child’s name on it. I make them myself and you can too!

I purchase a toy basket or toy bin and small wooden letters that spell the child’s first name.

Then, I paint the letters to match the colors of the child’s room and glue them on. (Use glue that works on both wood and fabric.)

Brush, paint, and wooden letters

Easy peasy! Simple, cute and useful. Kids and parents love this gift!

You can go even bigger and give a Personalized Wooden Toy Box.
