This Lego storage system shows you how to organize those fun kits that everyone loves.

You can take the time to create labels like shown in the photo, or for a shortcut, cut out a photo from the original box or manual and stick it on the front. This way, the favorite kits will be really easy to find when the building mood strikes.

Organized Lego Storage

An IKEA Torfast system comes to the rescue in this easy Lego storage project. All the blocks get organized by color and each drawer is labeled. The drawers pull-out, making it easy to find pieces and put them away. If you're looking to organize by color, this really is a great system.

Manuals and Minifigures then get their own cardboard bins. This would also be a great storage system to keep those free Lego magazines.

There's also a great idea for creating build buckets so the kids can keep their current projects all in one place. You can have as many build buckets as you want, so there's some flexibility if you have more than one kit or project going on at one time.
