4. Laundry Basket

All of us have used a laundry basket as some form of storage even if it was only a temporary situation. However, it probably didn’t cross your mind to use a laundry basket as a storage bin for your kid’s Nerf guns.

Using a laundry basket keeps the Nerf guns (and darts) contained without taking up too much of the space in your kid’s room.

In order to make better use of the space, opt for a taller laundry basket rather than a shallower longer one.

Simply toss have your kids toss all the Nerf guns and darts into the basket when they are done using them and just as easily get them back out again for use!

5. Under the Bed Baskets

Another storage area that is not often utilized in ou kid’s bedrooms is the space under the bed! In fact, it is likely that there are already some Nerf darts that have found their way under the bed so why not make that their official storage space!

The size of the space under your child’s bed will vary in size so you will need to measure the space available before purchasing any storage bins.

To maximize the amount of space available to you under the bed, try getting storage bins around the same width of the bed.

Depending on the number of Nerf guns your kids have, you may need to get extra storage bins to keep them in.

Extra Dart Storage Ideas!

Now that you know where and how you are going to be storing your Nerf guns, you also need to find a way to keep all your Nerf darts from getting lost.

While some of the Nerf gun storage ideas have their own ways to store darts for others you may need to think of some other dart storage ideas.

Here are 3 perfect ideas for storing your Nerf darts!

Cheese Ball Container

Do you have any empty cheese ball containers lying around from a few too many Netflix marathons?

Well, put those empty containers to use by storing all of your kids’ loose Nerf darts inside them.

Fill the container with steaming hot water and lay it on the side that the label is on. After a few minutes begin peeling the label of slowly from one side.

There will still be some residue left on the container. Get rid of the remaining residue by rubbing a mix of olive oil and baking soda on the container and rinse it off!

You can either leave the container clear or decorate it yourself with some paint and stickers. Let your kids have some fun by allowing them to decorate the container themselves.

Lunch Box/Tackle Box

Want to make your Nerf darts easier to transport? Store them in an easy to carry boxes such as a lunch box or even a tackle box.

While a lunch box might work for those who have smaller amounts of Nerf darts, your kids may have more Nerf darts than will fit inside of a normal sized lunch box.

If this is the case, try storing your Nerf darts in something a little larger like a tackle box.

Have several different kinds of Nerf darts you want to keep separate? Use the tackle dividers to keep them organized!

Pull String Bag

Keeping your Nerf darts in a pull string bag leads to an easy clean up and storage.

This storage method works especially well if you are choosing to use an under the bed storage bin or the laundry bin Nerf gun storage. Rather than having to dig around the bin trying to collect as many Nerf darts before the battle begins, have them already at hand in a pull string bag!

Split up the darts evenly between a few different pull string bags. Simply fill the bags back up after every battle and then grab one and begin!
