How do you store your children's puzzles?

Favorite Answer

Try putting them all in a box. Number the back of the puzzle and put pieces in a plastic baggie with a number on it too. Each puzzle and bag should have a number so that you can tell which pieces go to which puzzle. For example: you have 6 puzzles puzzle number one should be labeled one and the bag with those pieces in it should be labeled one as well, and the same for the rest of the puzzles. This way you can put them in a box and always know which pieces go to which puzzle....Show more

Ziploc sells Big Bags that would work for one or more puzzles. A friend of mine who is a home daycare provider uses these for the larger puzzles because then she can toss them anywhere rather than keeping them on a shelf. Personally, I keep mine on one of our bookshelves. The larger knobby ones just get put on top of the flatter ones. Doesn't look pretty but as long as I arrange them okay, they seem to stay in place. Good luck!...Show more

For the board puzzles (the ones that fit specifically into little slots on the boards) I have storage boxes that stack on top of each other. Each box has little slots that you can slide the board puzzles onto. They all stay pretty safe in there.

For the puzzles that just have lots of pieces that you put together to create the picture, I keep those in zip lock baggies rather than trying to keep them in their original box....Show more

I put the puzzle in a plastic Target or Walmart bag and tie it up, then it is easier to keep all of the pieces together....Show more
