Over-the-Door Organizer for Squishmallows
If you’re short on space in your children’s rooms, over-the-door storage makes it easy to keep Squishmallows and other stuffies out of the way. Multiple pockets in different sizes accommodate big and small stuffed animals, and the large open pockets make it easy for kids to find their favorite stuffed animals at bedtime. This design is available in an array of colors to match the room’s décor theme, and the simple setup makes installation easy. You can also use these storage solutions to organize other toys, sports equipment, or even clothes too.
Toy Hampers and Baskets for Easy Stuffed Animal Storage
Adding a toy hamper or woven basket is the gold standard for room organization. Kids can toss all their stuffies into the basket when playtime is over, so there’s no need to organize or sort at cleanup time. The handles are large and comfortable to grip, so your kids can easily move the basket from one room to another if they’ve made a mess in another room besides their own. Once your little ones have outgrown their stuffed animal collection, the hamper can be used for laundry, linens, or storage in other rooms of the house. Consider placing two in a corner of your child’s room to create a storage area for toys and stuffed animals.
Shelves for Displaying Smaller Squishville Toys
For Squishville Squishmallows and other smaller stuffed animals, floating shelves are perfect for creating a display. Clear shelves with a lip in the front prevents them from falling over to keep everything contained. A set of multiple shelves can be used for books and Squishville characters for even more kids’ room storage solutions. Look for shelves made from acrylic or plastic to stand up to a bit of wear and tear. Larger shelves are also great for displaying larger Squishmallows, which keeps them off the floor and bed while also adding a fun look to the room.
A Bean Bag Chair that Holds Overflow Stuffed Animals
Some stuffed animals are harder to find storage for due to their size, but you can easily store 24-inch Squishmallows with a stuffed animal bean bag chair. These stuffed animals are just as soft and cuddly as their name implies, making them perfect for stuffing a bean bag. This storage idea is great for storing older stuffed animals to make room for the newest additions to your child’s stuffed animal collection. For extra fun, these Squishmallow bean bag chairs are designed to look like an adorable Squishmallow too!
Storage Hammocks to Keep Squishmallows off the Floor
Stuffed animal storage hammocks keep your child’s collection off the floor and puts them on display. While these hammocks have been around for a long time, newer designs with LED lights add a fun and playful look to the room. Macramé construction and fringe details are classic and coordinate with an array of décor themes. They are easy to hang in any corner of the room and are great space-savers for smaller bedrooms. If your child has a large collection of stuffed animals, a hammock in each corner provides ample storage while keeping all the stuffies visible.
Cube Storage for Large Stuffed Animals
To put Squishmallows on display, cube storage is a great option. A 9-cube system provides space for stuffed animals and toys or books, and the cubes make it easy for kids to put toys away after playtime is over. Look for a design like this one that can be customized to fit your space. You can arrange the cubes in an array of columns and rows, and the setup makes assembly simple. Be sure to keep the columns short enough for your child to reach the top tier. This will make it easier to put toys away and keep the room clean. An assortment of colors means you can match the storage system to your child’s existing room decor too.
Organizing a Squishmallow collection doesn’t have to mean hiding them away in a dark closet. Whether you choose a glowing macramé hammock for a touch of whimsy or a simple floor basket for a 30-second cleanup, the best system is always the one your child can actually maintain.
Remember, it’s okay if the bed still has a few "permanent residents." The goal isn't a perfect room; it’s to create a space where everyone (including the plushies!) has a place to land at the end of the day.
