How and where do you store all your kid's games?

[tassisssss]

Ds got about 10 great board games for christmas. Now I need to figure out where to put them. If I put them in his bedroom (he's 4.5 btw) I worry that when he has friends round he'll tip the lot out on the floor, lose bits and crush the boxes (big pet hate of mine).

So do I store them where he has to ask me to get them down, or do I get over it and chill out?

What do you do with yours?

i got a big unberbed storage box from ikea.it fits loads in and is really easy to tidy away

underbed

We have the IKEA Trofast system for toy staorage, in the playroom (used to be known as a dining room but kids and eating in rooms with carpets in a rented house.... no-no!). Seems to be working brilliantly atm. Lego is stored in their rooms in a big plastic toy tub, with instructions for kits in a palstic file, boxes binned.

The one splayed with most are on a shelf on the big bookcase in her playroom. The rest in a big plastic box under the desk.

thanks all

I keep mine on a shelving unit under the stairs and they know that they are only allowed one game out at a time even when friends are in. The rest of their toys are kept in their bedrooms.
