Storage so cute, you'll be tempted to buy your kids more toys
We're big fans of the clever, charming designs over at 3 Sprouts. I mean, have you seen their adorable warthog hoodie towels and their fun walrus bathtub storage caddy? Too. Cute. Well, 3 Sprouts has combined modern and playful once again--this time with a new collection of kids' toy storage boxes. At my house, the kids' playroom has a way of encroaching on the living room. I frequently find myself tearing hrough the house, stashing toys away just as guests are headed to the front door. That's why I love these stylish storage boxes from 3 Sprouts. They're both efficient--hey, cleanup doesn't get much easier than throwing toys in bins--and attractive. The neutral background goes great with my décor, and the kid-friendly designs are a subtle reminder to my in-laws: Please forgive the mess, kids live here!

3 Sprouts has offered kids' storage boxes for a while, but their newest designs include a gorilla, unicorn, dragon, and rabbit. What I especially love about these boxes is that they're reinforced with heavy-duty cardboard on the sides, so the boxes won't sag sadly on your shelves. And at 13 x 13 inches, they're the perfect size to hold plenty of loot and durable enough to withstand the most raucous living room. Er, playroom. -Kate Head over to 3 Sprouts to check out all their mod storage box designs.
