When we packed our house we decided to use the Black and yellow heavy-duty totes from Home depot. That way everything stacked nicely in the moving process. I decided that after they were several empty to use one as a block bin. It held all the blocks perfectly.
As my boys were playing with it, I noticed that they began to use the lid as the base of their play. To my surprise, the mega blocks lined up perfectly inside the lid This was great! Once my boys weren’t using it Anymore I tested out the theory that the blocks could be lined up perfectly and create a tabletop. Sure enough, it was a breakthrough! The tables I had seen Did not have enough storage for my son’s Block collection, but this way he could store his mega blocks and have a take to build on. I am sure I was not the first to come up with it, but it turned out so perfect I had to share it.
1. Acquire the 17-gallon Tough tote storage Bin from Home depot. it will fit tightly 18W x 11L Single Mega blocks. You can use the blocks that are 2 or 3 well. That is a matter of preference.
2. You’ll need a heavy glue that adheres to plastic-E 6000 is what I used
3- You will need a second set of hands.
4. Something Flat and Heavy-I used books
You will want to layout blocks first to be sure that they fit perfectly and that the colors are like you want. Once you’ve adjusted how you want your blocks to look you should start gluing them down. My mom held them down as I glued them. The lesson I learned is to do gluing sections, otherwise, you’re trying to hold down and glue at the same time. The glue I bought has a 24 Hour curing process. After every block was glued down I set heavy books all down on the lid this way the glue could adhere completely to the lid.
The next day my boys had the perfect table and storage for their collection of mega blocks.
