Lego constructor storage rules
1. The best option is to teach the kid to sort the designer by initial sets, or by color, size (by color and size, or by color and type (in the first case, for example, so that all blue 2 × 4 plates are in one container, and all red plates 2x4 - in another, in the second case, so that all red bricks are in one place, and all red beams are in another)), shape, types of parts (bricks, plates, roof parts, wheels, windows, other details). Choose the most convenient sorting method. First help the child distribute the blocks, and then he will be able to do it himself. To make it convenient, you can take packages or some temporary containers.
2. Lego can be stored in ordinary plastic containers. They come in different sizes, with and without caps, so it’s easy to pick up containers of suitable shape and volume. To save space in the room, it is better to stay on containers that can be installed on top of each other. Another option is to buy a finished bookcase with containers.
3. When choosing containers, it is better to dwell on transparent ones, since their contents are always in sight. Another good option is to pick up several baskets according to the color of the parts and sort the parts of different colors into them.
4. To store small elements of the designer bags are perfect - regular or with a zip-lock. They should be put in a separate container.
5. Do not fill the containers to the top, otherwise it will be difficult to find the necessary elements, it is best to stack Lego in 1-2 layers.
6. If desired, you can purchase a special Lego table with niches for parts or cabinets, containers and a playing surface. This is very convenient in order to build, model and store the constructor when not in use.
7. You can try to put Lego in food containers of a cylindrical shape. They have transparent walls, thanks to which the contents of the jars are perfectly visible. These containers can easily be placed in a cabinet, on a windowsill, a bookshelf and in any other place.
8. The manufacturer also offers a Lego bag. It is a round fabric rug with lace around the perimeter. After the game, just tighten it and the details will be in the bag.
9. You can take a large capacity and install a partition inside for sorting parts, or use organizers for needlework, boxes for storing tools. If the Lego collection is still small, this way will save space.
10. To organize an effective storage system, it is not superfluous to sign each container: it will be easier to search for the necessary details, since you do not have to look into each container or box. And in order not to lose the instructions for Lego and know what model of toys you have, you can create a special folder with files.

Designers very well develop fine motor skills of the hands. In addition, the kids really like them and therefore are in every family.

It is necessary to accustom children to order and organization. I'll take it into service.
