Toy chests may serve several functions: besides providing storage and reducing clutter, sturdy chests provide bench seating. Toy chest benches may have additional playtime elements such as musical percussion instruments or workbench tools.
Traditionally toy chests have a flat or domed lid and toy boxes have open tops, but the two terms are often used interchangeably. Domed lids provide more enclosed storage room, while flat lids may provide bench seating.
Toy chest construction usually consists of wood or double-wall plastic for durable use, and a nylon vinyl combination for light duty use. Lidded chests need appropriate safety mechanisms to prevent unexpected closure injuries. Evaluate the items to be stored and the childs activities to select the most suitable toy chest for your use.
Have fun matching decorating themes with special toy chest designs such as trains, circus wagons, fire engines, and school bus models.
