Get some fabric storage bins, stackable cubby cubes, plastic containers, and some storage baskets to hold all the different board games, puzzles, and other activities.

Create stacks of board game boxes—sort them by frequency of use and place those played less often on upper shelves and those that you or your kids play on a regular basis on lower, easier-to-access shelves. For any games that are in smaller boxes or bags, use bins or storage boxes to corral them into one place.

Use Ziploc bags to contain small game pieces, especially if you are saving your original game boxes. You’ll lower your risk of losing small parts. The dollar store is your friend. Scour your local dollar store for additional solutions, such as small storage containers or organizers, and be sure to use your creative thinking.
