Or at the very least the ones that attach to the wall to put their cuddly toys in.

I could really do with knowing somewhere I could buy these over the weekend. There are loads on the Internet I know, but indeed them for Monday morning.

All suggestions welcome.

TIA

They're dead naff though Confused Can't you just use a plastic box, or arrange the toys on the bed?

tasteslikechicken · 31/01/2014 18:58

Too many to stack on the bed. To give you an idea, I need about six. That's how many toys we are talking about!

You have lots of toys to accommodate.

Perhaps you could tie some see through thread around them and suspend from the ceiling.

WaitMonkey · 31/01/2014 19:08

Ikea do the ones that hang from the ceiling, if that's any good.

learnermummy · 31/01/2014 19:15

We have the clippasafe ones, from amazon. You could try argos?

Moomoomie · 31/01/2014 19:23

I know what you mean about having loads of cuddly toys.
Dd3 has her old travel cot in her bedroom full to the top with all her teddies, she often climbs in there with them.
I tried all sorts of idea storage, they were not really big enough.

Rubybrazilianwax · 31/01/2014 19:52

A bean bag, without the polystyrene balls is good to stuff teddies with. 'Look, see your teddies are making a lovely cosy chair for you'

LydiaLunches · 31/01/2014 19:53

I saw a clear plastic poufe once for cuddly toys, brill idea, never could find one to buy though x

WaffilyVersatile · 31/01/2014 19:54

dd has hers in 4 of those collapsible cube boxes with lids. I have tried so many times to get rid of a few but I am a sentimental bugger and its soo hard

Twighlightsparkle · 31/01/2014 19:55

Ikea do the ones that hang from the ceiling with a few holes in to pull out

Catsize · 31/01/2014 20:02

Lydia, no!! They'd suffocate!

tasteslikechicken · 31/01/2014 20:07

Thanks for your thoughts, Argos is worth trying.
I've saw some clippasafe corner ones that look ideal. Can't check at moment, bedtime routine beckons!

Don't buy the hammocks for soft toys! They tip at the drop of a hat - you will rue the day..............

Oldraver · 31/01/2014 21:13

DS had a small play tent I use to throw the soft toys in

Piscivorus · 31/01/2014 21:15

Is this a bad time to tell you all my DCs are 25 and 23 and we still have boxes of teddies and toys in the loft Smile

GoodnessIsThatTheTime · 31/01/2014 21:19

Can you reduce the number of cuddlies...

RunRabbit · 31/01/2014 21:23

What about these?

Thatisall · 31/01/2014 21:25

Can you remove the least played with/beloved toys one by one over the course of a few weeks? That's what I did!

Throw them away! I have zero tolerance to soft toys... Maybe just one each... :)

tasteslikechicken · 31/01/2014 21:58

Thanks for your help so far. Trying to be delicate, firstly it isn't for any of my DCs. But is for a dc that can't be at home anymore. The toys are an important reminder of home and I think it is important to show that they are valued cared for, it is all he has.
The above isn't too cryptic but I'd be grateful if those who realise where I'm coming from, don't delve or speculate into this aspect too much. Just help me find the bloody things!

So far the clippasafe corner ones look ideal. I just can't find them anywhere where I can walk in and but them tomorrow. I'd really like them for Monday morning.

Bloody hell Friday night, all I wanted to do was go to h
The pub for an hour, here I am googling like a loon.

Second Ikea hanging ones although only fits smaller tips as the opening is too small! We also have an Argos white linen box which doubles as a wee seat and looks like furniture instead of kiddy clutter which is great for squashing... I mean placing toys in to as all ours are alive obviously!

learnermummy · 31/01/2014 23:21

Our clippasafe corner ones don't tip, but the kids often empty them Wink

Golightly133 · 31/01/2014 23:42

Rope ladder and copper wire thru there ears and hang them on it looks amazing
