We’ve found the best ways to store Lego.

Lots of us want Lego for Christmas – adults as much as children. In fact, if you need some inspiration, we’ve found some of the best Lego sets for kids as well as the best Lego sets for adults. And if you can’t wait until Christmas, there’s even the best Lego advent calendars to choose from.

But, whether you’re all set for Lego or gifting it for the first time, one thing you’re also going to need is a way to store it. There’s nothing quite as annoying as nearing the end of a Lego project and finding a piece missing, only to tread on it a week later. That’s why we’ve rounded up seven of the best Lego storage boxes; so you can safely walk barefoot again.

For a fun way to store and display your bricks, Lego offers a range of large figurine heads that can hold all the pieces inside (the large size holds up to 500 bricks in total). There’s a selection of designs and sizes to choose from with quirky options including skeletons and pumpkins.

If you hate the task of picking up individual Lego pieces (who doesn’t?), then this is the one for you. Unfurled, this toy storage bag appears like a round mat at about 150cm wide, but then tighten the drawstring and it closes to collect the Lego and create a storage solution in one.

Should your little one like to take their Lego on the road, this Sorting Case is ideal for travelling with a few essential pieces. Despite its compact nature (measuring 19 x 16cm), it still comes with four compartments to fit alternate bricks. There are three colours to choose from too; blue, green and red.

If your kid loves Lego and they’ve built-up an ample supply of it, a storage rack can help you to keep on top of the pieces. Even better; getting one with a rainbow design can help to colour code the bricks. That means the next time they create their own design; they know where to go for a particular colour.

Designed to look like a large Lego brick, this storage solution is brilliant because, just like regular Lego, it can be stacked with others to decorate and save on space. It’s also available in a wide range of colours and sizes, so you can customise it to your liking. Eight knobs is the largest size (one, two and four knobs also available).

For the more serious Lego-ers, this storage box comes with 30 compartments to give you ample space to sort and organise your bricks. The dividers can be moved around to customise the space and suit your project. Plus, there’s a handle on top so you can easily move it wherever you need.

If you’ve got more than one Lego set one standby, but you don’t want to mix up the pieces, these organiser cubes are a neat solution. There’s a clear viewing window on top of each, so you can easily find what you’re looking for, and when not in use the smaller two cubes can be stored inside the larger one. Plus, they're all collapsable.
