Keep Stuffed Animals Visible Yet Organized With A Simple Storage Solution

Stuffed animals can very quickly take over an entire playroom, and if left completely unchecked, the whole house can turn into a plushie playground. While stuffies are adorable, fun to play with, and comforting for little ones, there are bound to be times where you (understandably) need them to be more contained. This is especially true considering that a cluttered house can lead to increased feelings of stress, anxiety, and even depression. 

However, that doesn't mean they all need to be shoved in a bin and forgotten about. Stuffed animals are too cute to not have on display to some extent, and if executed properly, there are ways to transform stuffed animals into cute kid decor. One way to find that happy medium between all over the floor and tucked out of sight completely is to use an over-the-door stuffed animal organizer. For instance, you could use the Honeyera Original Stuffed Animal Storage Organizer. With this solution, the stuffies will remain easily accessible and on display, but you'll still be able to walk through your home without stepping on stuffed toys.

One of the best parts of this stuffed animal storage trick is that if your child outgrows their plushies, the organizer doesn't need to go in the trash. It can still be used to store other items like hats or other types of lightweight toys. In the meantime though, your child will have a functional and decorative place to store all their favorite animal friends where they can keep an eye on them and feel comforted at the same time.

The Honeyera over-the-door stuffed animal organizer is easy and quick to install and doesn't require any tools. All you need to do is slip the metal rods into position on the top of the door, hang the organizer from the hangers, and you're ready to go! Keep in mind, however, that over-the-door toy organizers like this one will likely have a small weight limit, so you should avoid using them to store any heavier items or toys. Over-the-door stuffy organizers also come in a variety of colors, so they can match any kids room whether they're rocking a pink princess theme or wanting a neon green or sky blue organizer. Or, you can opt for a classic white organizer to blend in and keep it simple.

One thing you want to be cautious of when hanging an over-the-door hanger is that it's possible for the racks of the hanger to cause damage to your door and door frame. To potentially mitigate this issue, you can try padding the racks with a thin layer of moleskin or another soft and durable material to protect the frame and the door from damage. If you're trying to declutter your kids' toys without having to buy anything new, you can potentially fashion an over-the-door stuffed animal organization system out of items you already have, like a shoe or hat rack or even any large macrame plant hangers you have lying around the house.
