What do you use for "short" / low profile toy bins? I'm always on the look out for toy bins that are the right size for yorkies. I want toy bins that have a really low lip so that they contain the toys, but so that the kiddos can still poke their noses in the bins and get their toys out. Does anyone use / have something like that? Everything I see...regular toy bins, dog toy bins, wicker baskets etc are just too high for them to get into. What does everyone use? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? |
No need here. If princess can't reach she just jumps in.:rolleyes: |
I use those plastic storage bins you can get from Target....the ones that you can slide under the bed.....I got real industrious and cut out TONS of Yorkie pics from all the old calendars I had saved (pack rat in me, plus a history of what happened in any given year!) and I decopaged (sp!!) them onto the bin....all around the sides that you see....this bin is about 5 inches deep, so my babies can reach inside of it, but it is also maybe 32 inches long and 22 inches wide.....it turned out pretty cute, I thought, and it works very well for us! |

Try The Container Store, or Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I have seem them at both places. |
I use a copper plant holder thing its rectangle but the ends are rounded. It is good for the favorite toys and I store the nonfavorites and just bring them out every now and then |
I use a flat doggie bed/mat with a lip all around it so she can't hurt herself poking around for her toys. |
1 Attachment(s) I use their old beds...since I can't throw anything out.:p It's easy for them to get the toys & sometimes Princess likes sunning in it! (old pic)Attachment 389052 |
I'm thinking about buying a plastic dog bed (similar to the one pictured below) for Pebbles' toys so she can easily choose the toys she wants. She doesn't like her current toy box, it's a bit too high - she paws at it and complains until I tip all the toys out for her. Marchioro Perla Plastic Dog Bed |

We have a Victorian beach hut theme going on upstairs....so I use a kind of nautical flat-bottomed blue + white striped low-edged beach bag (how descriptive is that?!!!!!? :p) for Harry's toys - he can just nose the side down and pick out what he wants.....:) It would have been easier to post a piccie....:rolleyes: Sally + Harry x |
the stackables at walmart are perfect. One side is open. Unfort Jess has zero interest in toys so its kind of moot..:confused: |

We keep our toys in doggy tents from Target. After 4 years, I still giggle watching the boys dive into their tents and come out with a toy. |
I had a problem finding toy boxes that Callie could reach into with out hitting her trachea and then coughing. When I was in Michael's craft store I found some baskets that where rectangles and has pretty short edge they even had three in different sizes so I got one for Callie's balls, one for chews/treat stick, then one for all other toys. My Uncle and Aunts 5 pound dog was able to reach in them with no problem. I could never find anything made for dogs that was short enough. |
We have one of the Martha Stewart toy bins from Petsmart. It works well for us but if you have a tiny Yorkie, it might be too big. |

We have these too :) |

I use a Pei Pod... Fab.com | pEi Pod Mine don't like using it as a bed. So I just put their toys in it. I have an old plastic travel kennel that I use for toys upstairs. It's easy for them to walk in & get whatever toy they want. |
Toy Bin We use those square soft cubes, that are suppose to be cat beds. The girls love it, they will jump in and hide in there until another tries to get a toy out. Sometimes will fall asleep with their toys. You would be surprise how much those cubes will hold and neatly too. |
I used my baby's easter basket! Works great |
I use a soft dog bed for Winston's toys...and it is literally over flowing with toys even though I try to rotate which toys we have out at one time. I know, he may be slightly spoiled. |
I have a very low plastic basket as well for Wallee's toys..Problem is, when they are in the basket he won't attempt to get them out. He will just stand and whine at the basket till you dump it out on the floor. Then he will rummage through the pile and take what he wants. Not sure what it is about the basket..something else he just decided he doesn't like. :confused: |
I use a bit of a deeper cheetah dog bed that I purchased at Ross for $8 and they didn't like to use as a bed - works perfectly for toys :thumbup: |

Wow, everyone has such great ideas, thanks so much! I have the same prob as some of you, where they won't get their toys out of certain bins - they'll just paw at them and cry...so this bed idea is great. |

I need to find something like what Ann was talking about, too...we're using a big, TALL pink clothes hamper from Target and Luma literally climbs into it to nap or hide from Rosie. If I can't find Luma, I know to check the hamper. :rolleyes: I need to find something low with an open side though. I'll go look around bed bath and beyond today. |
I just use a wicker basket for his current toys and keep the rest in his drawer, change them out every so often. He just stands up on the edge of the basket or turns it over to get out the toy he wants. |
We use a wicker serving tray. The sides are only 2 inches high and it fits perfectly under a table. The pups love it. I find Sophie sleeping in there sometimes. |
