Rolling LEGO Sorter

December 7, 2016 By BrightGreenDoor

Playing with LEGOs is my boys absolute favorite activity. Recently we were at a friend’s house who had his bricks sorted by color and my boys came home and immediately began sorting their LEGO bricks into plastic baggies. That’s when I got to thinking how nice it would be for them to have a storage system that allowed for sorting by color. That’s when I decided to build them this under the bed rolling LEGO sorter.

First I cut small blocks of wood and used the trim nailer to attach them to the side boards.How to Build a Lego Sorter

Altogether I created 8 compartments, which meant that I needed 28 of these pieces.Lego Sorter Tutorial

Once these were all attached I screwed on the end pieces and then ripped a piece of thin plywood for the bottom of the sorter.DIY Rolling Underbed Lego Storage

My six year old Mason was all about helping with this project. Once the bottom was attached we added wheels to the bottom of the sorter.How to Built a Lego Storage Bin

Then we used strips of thin plywood as the dividers. In total this project took about 1 hour and around $40 in materials. The board cost $12, the wheels cost $10, and a big sheet of plywood cost around $20.DIY Sorted Lego Storage

The best part is that it rolls nicely under their bed and hides away perfectly.Rolling Underbed Lego StorageDIY Rolling Lego Storage LEGOs have also proven to be an amazing incentive for him. Whether it’s completing homeschool work without complaining or remembering things like washing hands and turning off lights. It’s amazing what this kid can do with a simple incentive!Lego Juniors

With our constantly growing Lego collection, I’m actually going to be making second sorter to hold their mini figures, grey LEGO bricks, bases, and wheels. A sorter like this would be a great way to give a handmade gift, along with a set of LEGO bricks!

      Thanks mom! It was fun to build knowing how much they’d love it.
