13 LEGO Storage Ideas for Managing Holiday Hauls

This post may contain affiliate links. Here is our disclosure statement.

Are you working through potential LEGO storage ideas trying to navigate the influx of all the new LEGO sets received this Christmas? We’ve been there! During the holiday season it’s easy to find yourself inundated with new LEGO brick or sets and wondering where it will all live. With most things, we employ a “one in, one out” rule, but we all know that doesn’t apply to LEGO, right?

Selecting the right storage solutions is always a personal decision. While we as parents always want to maintain organization and accessibility of bricks, our kids could care less. they just want to play well… and we don’t blame them!

LEGO Storage Ideas for Storing Loose Bricks

There are so many ideas for storing loose brick… the sky, and your imagination… is the limit! But in case you’re wanting to see what’s out there, here are a few ideas:

Stackable Organizers

Transparent Storage Tubs with Lids

We use many of these for our own storage needs. From 50 QT tubs to smaller stackable containers, transparency is key when you’re wanting them for organizing by color or for using them as a larger container for smaller set groupings.

Travel-Friendly Solutions for LEGO Bricks and Sets

Carry Cases or Totes

There are plenty of options for carry cases and totes. Some of the newer ones are really interesting, where bag styles have been re-purposed for LEGO.

Slide-away Style Containers

Absolutely love these containers. Using a “slide-away” mechanism, kids can store their LEGO and pull it out on the play mat for easy play and cleanup.

You can buy Creative QT SlideAway, On-The-Go Mini Storage Bag and Table Top Play Mats on Amazon.

Storage Boxes with Baseplate Lids

One of the hard things about putting bricks and sets in storage boxes is that you never really have a place to build in a vehicle. What’s great about these sets is that the lids themselves allow for building on, making it easy to always have a workspace available… whether in the car or at grandma’s house.
