The next thing you know, your kid’s bedroom is full of plushies. As parents, we’re all wondering how on earth we’ll store all of them without every room looking like a zoo. We’ve all found ourselves in a similar situation and luckily, they created creative ways to organize stuffed animals. Let’s take a look at what’s out there.
