mom31257 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 If your sons play with large toys such as swords, shields, nerf guns, nerf battle axes, etc., how do you store them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda S in TX Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Our home is very small so the boys things are scattered here and there. The swords and shields are in the dress up baskets. The bow and arrows, crossbow, stomp rockets, and rifles are behind the front door. The mashonga swords are in a corner of the living room where I can keep an eye on them.

Amy in NH Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Swords and guns either go in an umbrella stand in the mudroom, or in a wrapping-paper-roll box under the bed. Shields can be hung on the wall or put in the dress-up box. If they have straps, I suppose you could put them on a hanger in the closet...

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I saw this on Pinterest. You could make a dress-up wardrobe out of a big cardboard box and have hooks or loops for swords and weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenvneck Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 If your sons play with large toys such as swords, shields, nerf guns, nerf battle axes, etc., how do you store them? We have a room pretty much devoted to an arsenal. I'm not joking. We have every Nerf gun (x3), melee weapon, light saber, sword, shield, and etc., available PLUS what they and dh construct on their own. It is seriously an amazing collection. That said, they (and their friends) do use the entire arsenal, but I have no idea how to organize it. They don't WANT to organize it and I'm just counting myself fortunate that we have a room upstairs (where I never go if I can help it) where they can do whatever they want with all of that and I don't ever have to look at it. Until I'm pulling darts and bullets and discs out of my crochet basket next to my desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenvneck Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Swords and guns either go in an umbrella stand in the mudroom, I tried instituting that for my kids' swords, but once they had 20+ swords and another couple dozen light sabers that just didn't work. I would LOVE to see how people store HARD-CORE SERIOUS play artillery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) We keep it all in a mesh, pop-up style laundry bin. It works pretty well, especially for the long swords.

scrappyhappymama Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Most of our weaponry and battles are ONLY ALLOWED OUTSIDE! So, we have a Deck Box on the back porch and all swords, shields, light sabers, nerf guns, sais, nunchucks, waterguns, stomp rockets, pool noodles and any other assorted artillery are all kept there. :D We also have a smaller "weapons" box in the playroom where a few nerf guns and darts are kept, in response to pleas from the owners. But if they use them to shoot mama or anywhere in the vicinity of the baby, they are banished outside as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2squared Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 laundry basket I think this will be the combat gear Christmas. The boys will be so excited!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookfiend Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 In a big, plastic garbage can in the garage. We have full artillery here too, and it is definitely considered an outside activity. Nerf guns go under the bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
