Solving the Puzzle Storage Problem

We were constantly battling puzzle pieces. The boxes would fall apart, lids would go missing, and our toddler was always one step ahead—dumping everything out before anyone even started.

We needed a better system, so we started using Bliss Bins from Maple & Lark. They’re durable, all the same size, and zip shut, which instantly solved two problems: easy stacking and no more surprise messes from little hands.

For puzzles, we came up with a simple routine. We mostly use Ravensburger puzzles because they’re high quality and last. When we open a new one, we find the completed image online, print it, laminate it, and tuck it into the bin with the pieces. That way, we don’t have to keep bulky boxes, and the kids always have a reference to work from.

We’ve started using the bins for other parts of homeschooling too. They’re great for holding full curriculum sets—especially when we’re rotating things in and out throughout the year. We use them for manipulatives like counting bears, letter tiles, and flashcards, and they make it easy to keep everything grouped and labeled. We’ve even used them for Lego kits. Each kit goes in its own bin with the instructions, so the kids can build, break down, and build again without losing pieces.

Right now, they’re on sale—20% off with a coupon on Amazon. If you’ve been looking for a way to cut down on clutter and keep your homeschool space a little more manageable, it’s a good time to grab a few.
