How To Neatly Store Hot Wheels Tracks

August 13, 2021 · In: Kids, Organize

Learn how to neatly store Hot Wheels tracks and cars in a kid’s bedroom so they’re easily accessible, no matter how small the space is.

Happy Quick Win Friday! Today is the day of the week where you get a super quick and easy organizing project that takes 30 minutes or less and packs a big punch. Today we’re tackling those Hot Wheels race tracks and mounds of cars piled up in your kid’s room. You may have tried specialty organizers for the cars and tracks before, and if your household is like mine, those containers didn’t stand a chance.

My son was not interested in separating each car into individual slots, nor was he excited about separating track pieces by size. Those specialty containers went to the donation center in no time because they were never getting used and all the cars were getting pushed into a corner.

If you’re nodding your head right now, I’ve got a better solution for both you and your kiddo. This is the easiest way to store Hot Wheels race tracks and cars and an even easier way for your child to clean up their room after playtime is over. And in my book, anything that helps kids clean their own rooms is a winner.

Easy Hack For Storing Hot Wheels Tracks And Cars

All you need are two 41-quart underbed storage containers. I got these bins from Target and used the drive-up service so I didn’t even have to go inside the store and try to stuff them into a shopping cart. Talk about easy, right?

You’ll need one container for the tracks and another container for the cars. You can go a step further and add small bins inside to divide by category, but remember that the goal is to get kids to clean up on their own. Don’t make it complicated.

The lids keep the containers closed and free of dust, and they slide right underneath your child’s bed. Up until recently when I made a weapon wall out of pegboards, we had been keeping Nerf guns and light sabers in these underbed containers, too. They’re great for any toy that’s longer than 12 inches and hard to store.

    I figured this one out on my own a few weeks ago. I got my bins at Dollar General. I tried Walmart first but they didnt have any lids the right size…works well for hot wheels and slides under the bed. I built s peg board for the boys room for nerf guns as well and a long lego table for legos. My boys have a lot of toys so its always a challenge to keep the room half-way tidy.

    our track builder sets are the ones that are stumping me with how to store them neatly in my sons room. Any ideas? We do use Ikea Trofast for our other hot wheels items.

Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pu Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pushed aside, or another family member accidentally sabotages the entire area you organized last month.
Instead of stressing over it, take it as an opportunity to redo it better this time. Maybe the way you organized that space before was too complicated and hard to maintain. Or maybe it wasn’t categorized enough so things piled up.
When you find a space that lost its Organization Mojo,  empty it out, try something new, and see if that works better.
You’ll find your own signature organizing style through experimentation and get your home Organized-ish one drawer at a time. 😉

Today on the blog, I’m sharing the exact plans and steps of how I designed this pantry and how my handyman helped me bring it to life.
And if you want a full tour of the pantry, head over to my YouTube channel to look inside all the drawers and cubbies. The pantry starts at timestamp 21:14. 🥰

This tray and these canisters were “supposed” This tray and these canisters were “supposed” to be used in a kitchen. The packaging literally said “kitchen storage canister” and “kitchen turntable” and they were in the kitchen storage aisles of the store. But don’t let those labels feel like you’re stuck with only certain types of organizers for each room.
Next time you’re shopping for organizers, look in other aisles and you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find. Bathroom organizers are great in craft rooms, garage storage is perfect for a home gym, office storage is good for kid’s rooms, and kitchen organizers can be used in bathrooms.
If you’ve been struggling to find the right organizers for your home, it’s time to think outside the box. 😉
