Mum's CLEVER storage solution not only hides messy toys, but also doubles as a cool chill-out zone!
- Replies 1
Folks, if you have young children living with you at home (or as frequent visitors), we're willing to bet you will understand the struggle of asking them to put away the mess of toys they have left chucked across the room.
And even then, it is also extra difficult to organise those toys, books, and stuffed animals in a way that looks good and pleasing to the eye (not to mention, safe from accidents as well).
After growing tired of the constant mess in her daughter's chaotic, toy-covered room, this busy mum has revealed her very clever $29 solution.
She said she was sick of seeing stuffed toys everywhere, that's why she decided to head to Kmart in search of a solution to her problems.

Heather described, in a post that she made on a popular Facebook group, how she maintains order in her daughter's bedroom and prevents it from becoming cluttered with unnecessary items.
"I was so sick of seeing stuffed toys," she wrote alongside photos of a colourful beanbag. "I saw this bean bag cover at Kmart and thought it would be a good storage option."
And to her surprise, it works! The bean bag cover is perfect for being used as storage, but in addition to that, it also serves as a convenient and comfortable play area for her daughter.
"I attached a key ring to the zip so that my little one can access the toys when she needs to. She thinks it is comfy, and that's all that matters. It's also a good size!" she went on to add.
The bean bag shown is the Unicorn Faux Fur Bean Bag from Kmart, which is a great deal at just $29. Customers who have bought it have complimented both its "cuteness" and its "softness," as well as its "great quality."

The post was quickly flooded with comments from fellow mums, all of whom praised Heather for the brilliant idea that she shared with everyone.
One mum wrote, "That’s an awesome solution to ‘what do we do with the 100 teddies our kids have collected and refuse to give away’ problem. Love it!"
A second one agreed and added, "That’s a great idea! Off to Kmart, I go!"
Meanwhile, a third mum said that Heather's idea has inspired her to change the contents of her bean bag at home. "Ours is currently full of beans but I’m scared the dog is going to pop it. Definitely changing over to stuffed toys!" she said.
A fourth mum, however, warned them of a 'hilarious' problem that might come up if they ever try this storage hack.
"I’ve done this with two large bean bags in my lounge, and every time you sit on one of them, Donkey from Shrek speaks to you," she wrote in the comments, with several mums laughing in response.
Members, we have to advise though that if you plan to replace the bean-filled containers found inside these bags with stuffed toys, then you must ensure that none of the toys have any pointed parts or ‘ouch-inducing’ objects attached to them. Or else, both you and your grandchild run the risk of accidentally injuring yourselves...
