Lots of us want Lego for Christmas – adults as much as children. In fact, if you need some inspiration, we’ve found some of the best Lego sets for kids as well as the best Lego sets for adults.

But, whether you’re all set for Lego or gifting it for the first time, one thing you’re also going to need is a way to store it. There’s nothing quite as annoying as nearing the end of a Lego project and finding a piece missing, only to tread on it a week later. That’s why we’ve rounded up six of the best Lego storage boxes; so you can safely walk barefoot again.

If your kid loves Lego and they’ve built-up an ample supply of it, a storage rack can help you to keep on top of the pieces. Even better; getting one with a rainbow design can help to colour code the bricks. That means the next time they create their own design; they know where to go for a particular colour.
