If you want to organize Lego, a well-organized system will save you time. It makes building easier because matching bricks can be found faster.
Organizing Lego: The preparation
First, set up a suitable workspace. This should provide enough room for your Lego collection.
- Get plastic containers, drawer systems or special sorting boxes. Make sure they are transparent so you can see the contents at a glance.
- Stackable and expandable systems are particularly helpful. They make optimal use of the available space and can be easily added to as needed.
Sorting methods for Lego bricks: the best options
One of the simplest methods is sorting by category. You can choose different approaches here:
- By shape and color: This method allows quick access to certain parts. However, it requires a lot of space and can become confusing for large collections.
- Shape only: This method saves space because colors can be combined. However, it may take longer to find a specific part.
- Color only: This method is visually appealing and easy for children, but difficult if you are looking for specific parts.
- Combining methods: A mix of different sorting methods can also be useful. You can sort frequently used parts by shape and color, while less frequently used parts are organized using only one of the two methods.
