Try this mindset:
Organized enough to play,
messy enough to have fun.
Outdoor games, sports equipment, bikes, chalk, bubbles, and water toys are all about providing fun. Storage of and access to these items should be simple and straightforward, how it looks is far less important than how it works for your family and your space.
Outdoor play does not need to be complicated or difficult. Before filling your cart with all the newest summer fun & outdoor play items, take inventory of what you have. Open the garage or shed and pull out every item. Make a thoughtful decision about whether or not that toy belongs, or needs to go.
Give yourself freedom to shift the arrangement and set up of your garage or outdoor toy storage space in a way that suits this current season - then as the seasons change it can shift as well.
