Learn how to use the PicassoTiles City Theme Storage Bin to quickly organize and store magnetic tiles, keeping your playroom tidy and your sets ready for the next build.
Quick answer
Use the PicassoTiles City Theme Storage Bin to sort, store, and carry magnetic tiles by color or shape. Its foldable design and handles make cleanup fast and portability easy.
Why a dedicated bin beats random boxes
Magnetic tiles are sturdy but they can slide around in a generic container. A bin with a lid and handles, like the PicassoTiles City Theme Storage Bin, keeps pieces contained and easy to grab. The city-themed design also adds a visual cue that helps kids associate cleanup with playtime.
Steps to organize magnetic tiles with the city bin
- Sort tiles by type or color: Empty all magnetic tiles onto a clean surface. Group them by shape (squares, triangles, windows) or by color. This makes it easier to find specific pieces during future builds. Common mistake: dumping all tiles in unsorted. Sorting now saves time later.
- Place sorted piles into the bin: Open the PicassoTiles City Theme Storage Bin fully. Arrange each pile in a separate corner or layer inside the bin. If you have many tiles, stack layers with a sheet of paper or felt between them to prevent sliding. Checkpoint: ensure the lid closes flat without bulging. Overfilling can warp the bin.
- Secure the lid and use the handles: Close the lid firmly. The built-in handles let you carry the bin to a playroom, car, or storage shelf. The lightweight design makes it easy for kids to move on their own. Common mistake: forgetting to latch the lid before lifting. Always double-check that the lid is fully closed to avoid spills.
- Store the bin in a designated spot: Place the bin in a consistent location, such as a low shelf or a corner of the playroom. When not in use, fold the bin flat to save space. Checkpoint: choose a spot that is accessible to children so they can learn to put tiles away independently.
