Children's Toy Boxes

Keep Clutter-free With Children's Toy Boxes

Keep your home tidy with a children's toy box. Designs available on eBay range from plain and practical, to fantastical and fun. Keep dolls and games safe from damage with a study box, keep your child's room neat, and make playtime even more fun.

Often, purpose-built children's toy boxes are conveniently sized for small people with a hinged top and plenty of space inside for toys. Typically they are made from wood, but some are available in plastic. Some storage solutions use shelves and boxes, offering a modular system which can be expanded. The most traditional toy box often doubles as a bench seat when closed. Kids' toy boxes come in different sizes and you might even need an extra-large children's toy box if you have more than one child or lots of toys.

Look out for safety hinges, as well as slow-close or lightweight lids. Be sure the hinges hold the lid open so your child can safely search inside the open box, or get a toy box with a detachable lid. Perhaps look for a toy box with padded edges or rounded corners if you feel your child will bump into the box. Children can occasionally climb inside their toy box, so make sure there are ventilation holes and no latch on the lid so that they do not become trapped inside the toy box. Any paint on the box should be non-toxic and look out for any flaking paint on used or vintage toy boxes.

On eBay, personalised toy box options are available. You can choose the style and design of your kid's toy box, with a vast range of colours and novelty shapes for sale. For example:

• Toy boxes might be covered with brightly coloured, play-inspired scenes like Cinderella's coach, dinosaurs, jungle animals, or a fairytale castle.
• You can also opt for toy boxes that double as a seat, sometimes a simple bench, or perhaps a royal throne. Some have a separate seat that makes a play desk.
• Novelty designs for toy boxes include pirate treasure chests, cartoon characters, car shapes and many more.
• Kids toy boxes with their name or other personalisation are also available.

The Lion Mark and the CE Mark are safety symbols that can be found on toys and toy boxes, so check the listing information for full details before making your choice.
