♦Clips - Get creative. Try these clips normally used in
the laundry room or bathroom for drying hand-wash items to hang lightweight stuffed
animals by a floppy ear. If the clips break (but of course, your kids don't
break things), you can always add some ordinary colorful clothes pins as ongoing
replacements. Just make sure everyone is old enough to know better than to
swallow any broken parts!

♦Hampers - Or use kids
toy storage lockers.
Stacks and Stacks sells several
Kid's Storage Lockers in a couple sizes and colors.
With an open
Pop-Open Hamper
 or cube, your child can just toss her
stuffed animals into it daily. It's more convenient. It doesn't have to be a child's
hamper
 either. It just needs to be a safe
hamper
 that your child can use
for stuffed animal storage.
♦A
big oval willow basket (laundry basket type) on the floor in the closet
may also work well and look cute. Check your nearest major discount retailer in
the adult craft section where the baskets are sold or check a major arts and
craft store in the basket section. I've seen these inexpensive baskets in both
of those places. Spray paint it any color you'd like to brighten it for your
kid's room; they usually just come in the natural light sort of yellow/brown
color. And willow is very lightweight. Even your kids can carry the basket
around. Here's a different type of open willow
basket, just for kids, from Stacks and Stacks:

♦Also check out these
3 Magic Storage Cubes
 from Organize.com.
These are a good height for a child to reach into---and convenience is important
with any organization and storage method. Let her have some fun by sorting all
the stuffed dogs into one cube and the stuffed cats into a separate cube (that
is if she thinks dogs and cats can't live nicely together).
