My two girls have gotten really into Squishmallows in the last couple of years and as their collection continues to grow I\u2019ve been on the hunt for good stuffed animal storage ideas to keep these plushy friends from overtaking their rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems like the problem with stuffed animals is that they get out of control before you realize it\u2019s a problem. Thinking ahead about how you\u2019re going to organize your child\u2019s stuffed animals from the beginning is really helpful. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the best stuffed animal storage ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n

Add a few favorite stuffed animals to your child’s bed <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Consider using your kid\u2019s bed as a place for stuffed animal storage. Adding a few favorite stuffies or the ones they like to sleep with on the bed and opt for additional storage elsewhere. One to three stuffies on the bed is a great storage location, as they can still easily get into bed at night without having to toss dozens (or more) of stuffed animals onto the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get rid of the stuffed toys your kids no longer love<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
My kids get stuffed animals regularly throughout the year. With the exception of their collection of Squishmallows, they are loved for a short time, and then they are ready to part with them. We frequently go through the stuffed animals and toys to purge the ones that are no longer getting much love. Consider giving them away to friends, or dropping them off at a donation center, shelter, or even a pet shelter. The best way to manage storage for stuffed animals is to not store them at all.<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s a good idea to have a one in and one out rule with toys specifically stuffies. If my children want a new stuffy, we remind them of the one in and one out rule so we\u2019re not overwhelmed by stuffed toys. That simply means that to get a new stuffed animal, we have to give one away. This helps them to think twice about their purchase or their ask for something new. This works for all toys, not just stuffed animals! This works great particularly if you are already limited on your stuffed animal storage. You just have to be careful that you aren’t trading a huge stuffy for a pocket sized one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stuffed Animal Storage Ideas and Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Getting to the meat of this post – there are plenty of products and DIY projects that will adequately allow for storage of stuffed animals. Let’s dive into some of them!<\/p>\n\n\n

Stuffed Animal Bean Bag Chair<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n Stuffed Animal Storage Bean Bag Chair<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This product is new to me and just so genius. It\u2019s basically a bean bag chair with a zipper but it\u2019s empty so you use your stuffed animals as the stuffing. A stuffed animal chair – it’s brilliant. It can also be a clever storage ottoman as well. We love a multipurpose product and this one is pretty smart. If you like to sew, here\u2019s a\u00a0DIY version<\/a>\u00a0that seems pretty simple to whip up.I love this idea because my youngest has always asked for a bean bag chair but it just seems so useless to me and they take up a ton of floor space. With this bean bag stuffed animal storage idea I think I could justify getting her a bean bag chair. Another great thing about this is the ability to rotate out the stuffed animals that are out and about. <\/p>\n\n\n

These corner of the room stuffed animal storage hammocks for stuffed toys are as old as I can remember. I definitely had a stuffed animal net one as a little kid. This version with tassels is elevated and pretty cute for any kid\u2019s room. We got something similar for my oldest daughter\u2019s room so she can stash some of her Squishmallows up high. These are great because they utilize some of the space overhead instead of the ground space in a room.<\/p>\n\n\n

Wire Basket with a table top as stuffed animal storage<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n Storage Bins, Ottomans, and Tables as Stuffed Animal Storage Ideas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Years ago I made a\u00a0side table from a wire basket\u00a0<\/a>similar to this. It\u2019s brilliant to have a removable top to stash some pillows or in our case some stuffed animals. This would make a great bedside table on an accent table next to a chair. Stuffed toys will be securely stashed away while still having a functional table in the child’s room. Alternatives to something like this would be a wire laundry basket, milk crates, or a wooden crate – they are all great for storing stuffed animals.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tall, slim wire basket for stuffed animal storage<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n Here\u2019s another excellent basket that will work for stuffy storage<\/a>. A tall, slim wire basket is great for stuffed animal storage. It can neatly be tucked into a corner of a room and all the stuffies can be tossed in there when done playing. My only suggestion for something like this is to make sure the stuffed toys aren\u2019t overflowing out of the bin, otherwise, the purpose is defeated. If you have many stuffed animals to stow away, consider getting a couple of baskets and storing one (or both) in a closet.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"over](\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/over-the-door-baskets-for-stuffed-animal-storage-500x1024.png\")
Over the door basket storage<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n Over-the-door basket storage for stuffed animals is a great way to utilize otherwise wasted space. I love an over-the-door organizer. They are so useful for many things. If you have real little ones these are great for collecting small stuffed animals and they can adorably peek over the edge of the baskets. As the kids get bigger so do the stuffed animals and something like this might not be as effective. This is definitely an option worth looking into to keep those stuffed animals tucked away.<\/p>\n\n\n

DIY Stuffed Animal Zoo Storage Idea<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n How cute is this little DIY stuffed animal storage is so cute as a stuffed animal zoo? This is a pretty creative way to store stuffed animals. I like it because you can really tailor this to the size and scale that you need. Also, it makes it really easy for the kiddos to put their toys away.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"slim](\"https:\/\/www.makinghomebase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wire-basket-storage-for-stuffed-animals-308x1024.png\")
Tall, Slim Metal Shelf for Stuffed Animal Storage<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n I really love the look and style of this shelving unit. I think it would be so great in a kid\u2019s space. While it may not hold a bunch of stuffies, it definitely would hold a few and display them adorably. You can get several shelves and place them together for even more storage space. You can even add fabric baskets to create drawers for hidden stuffed animal storage. This is a perfect option for a playroom or a kid’s bedroom that wants to display some other decor items.<\/p>\n\n\n
