Boxed In? Bag Instead!
August 30, 2026 Leave a Comment
Say goodbye to crushed, ripped cardboard game, puzzle, and Lego boxes! Nannies know that sturdy, waterproof mesh bags are a simple storage game-changer. These bags are perfect for puzzles, LEGOs, card games, toys, and even those random household items that never seem to have a home. They are great to use in my diaper bag and when traveling as well.
For toys, Legos, puzzles, and card games, I take a quick photo of what’s inside the bag and tape it to the outside with clear packing tape, making everything easy to identify at a glance.
Best of all, the bags take up far less space on shelves and in closets, keeping playrooms, bedrooms, even the kitchen desk more organized and clutter under control!
At my nanny job I stated with this pack of bags with multi colored zippers and various sizes. I really like having different sizes and colors available to use throughout the house.
Then I quickly bought bigger sized bags to start organizing even my Nanny Kids largest board games.
I highly recommend using Alexa on the Amazon app to help you choose which sized bags to use for your specific storing needs. For example you can ask which size bag is best to hold the game Twister to find the perfect sized bag for your storage needs.
