how to store Hot Wheels track?

[CloudBee]

Our wooden railway track and Thomas items are so easy to put away, as it doesn't snap together.

The Hot Wheels track (new obsession) is a pain because it's both flimsy, and takes effort to snap / disconnect piece by piece. We've tried placing large stretches of track behind the couch, but it's getting bent and beaten up.

How do you store track if your kid plays with it often?

Any HW sets you can recommend for a 2.5 yr old for Christmas? We only have straight track, and a single loop with launcher that I snagged at Walgreens this weekend with $6 in Wellbucks credit. Up until this weekend we had just been creating our own ramps by sliding the end of a track under a couch cushion, and letting gravity pulls cars down onto the floor. The launcher is a huge hit.

What about a rubbermaid bin? One of the ones that are longer and narrow, that usually goes under a bed?

Yep, that's what we do too. One of the long Rubbermaid bins and we keep it under her bed.

Ours just gets stored on top of our giant bin that contains all of the Thomas trains. My dining room has been overtaken by toys and I don't think there is a solution at this point. Small house + 3 kids = toys everywhere.

We do our best to store toys. We have two of the stackable open bins plus one regular toy box. I store toys grouped in plastic bags so the kids just grab a bag of legos, cars, balls, blocks etc. But even then we still have a Rubbermaid bin with playdoh and one for the Thomas trains. Then the little people and hot wheels tracks get set on top of those bins.

They get shoved under the bed. FWIW, Hot wheels sets are pieces of junk and won't last so how you store them really won't matter. LOL Learn from my mistakes!
