 How do you store your LEGO®? 

We used to keep ours in this bright red, blue and yellow tackle box.  That worked pretty good for a while......

It's even labelled!

Then we tried storing them by color in clear plastic shoe boxes.  Exciting couple that we are, my husband and I spent one New Year's Eve at 10:00 pm sorting 9,495,320 LEGO by color into about eight different boxes.  That actually lasted for quite a while.  We even put all of the instruction booklets in a purple folder so the boys could easily find something to build and then grab the LEGO needed for their masterpiece.  But, over time, the colors started to mingle, mix and make merry in their neighboring boxes. 

Our current methond is to toss them all in one big ole' lined basket. 

I am proud of this method.  Here is why.  I bought the basket at my favorite place....the thrift store!!  It cost a whopping $3.  I washed the lining and it's ready to go.  My kids are not into throwing the LEGO all over the room, so no lid is no problem.  When we had the lid it was more of a pain because we'd find extra LEGO and have to unclamp the tackle box to throw in stray bricks.  And, this basket looks nice in our living room.
