Toy cars all over your house? You’ll love this tidying hack.

Cheap and easy.

Have you got toy cars all over your house? You'll LOVE this tidying hack

We’re ordering this, immediately!

Whether you have boys or girls, chances are there are more than a few dozen toy cars scattered all over the floors of your home.

They’re a classic toy that will keep them entertained for hours, but they can be an absolute ‘mare underfoot.

Their small size also means that they’re often left in unexpected places, they can be lost easily and they’re even easier to slip on.

If you’re fed up of pulling them from between couch cushions and almost sliding down the stairs on them, you’ll love this handy hack we came across to keep them neatly tidied away.

Parenting vlogger Kerry Whelpdale came up with the ingenious idea of putting magnetic strips on her playroom walls to store the little cars.

The sticky-back magnetic strips can be bought in hardware stores and online on Amazon and eBay.

As many dinky cars are made of metal, they’ll easily stick to the strips.

As a bonus, you’ll always know where they are so no tantrums about a must-have car before they go somewhere.
