Puzzle storage - ziploc alternative???

[jgenie]

I'm looking for a way to organize our puzzles. Ziploc bags work great but I can't leave DS1 unattended with them if I use ziploc bags. Wondering if anyone has seen a breathable zipper bag that would work? TIA

I use those Gladware containers that luch meat comes in for small toy storage, including puzzles.

Would a lingerie bag work? You know, the bags they make for washing delicates in the washing machine? They are mesh and have a zipper.

You can use the small laundry mesh bags.

Lingerie (sp?) bags. You know, the mesh bags you use to wash bras in? You can get them at the dollar store.

A pencil box would also work for 24 piece or so puzzles.

We have a lot of puzzles, which we generally keep in their original cardboard boxes (for jigsaw puzzles) or in a puzzle-tray rack (for flat puzzles that fit in a rack, Lauri puzzles, etc). However, a couple of jigsaw puzzles that didn't come in boxes (I think from the Target dollar aisle!) we keep in those IKEA plastic containers with hinged lids, marketed as storage for markers, small toys, etc. They're sold in sets of 3, each a different color, at IKEA.

We use mesh lingerie bags.

We repurpose too-good-to-toss plastic containers for those kinds of things. (Graduates Puffs cans, dishwasher packet containers with hinged lids...)

I love these bags for puzzles and games.
