Lego Organization

I realize the only way to really play lego's is to dump the enitre box onto the floor so you can sift through the pieces to find the one's you need...BUT, I don't like this method. So, I have organized the pieces that aren't really building pieces into little tupperwares. It works great. My boys many times just want to play with the lego "guys" and now, they can go straight to the tupperware for that, the whole box doesn't get dumped on the floor.

ALSO, patterns for lego's. Putting them in a binder in plastic sleeves has made such an improvement! We've lost many other patterns, and the boys ask me to recreate their car they once built - uh, not gonna happen. Anyway, it's a nice way to keep them all in 1 place for the kids to find.
