Specific storage makes tidy up a no brainer – especially for toys. Because kids know exactly where to put things away, making toy room clean up easy and decision free.
This week, Jaime Costiglio and I, are sharing a brand new plan to help you with just that!
This bookrack features a bin at top for organizing books forward facing, suitable for different sized books. This also displays beautiful book covers facing outward. The bottom is great for larger items like stuffed animals, blankets, or favorite action figures. I love that there is no tabletop surface to accumulate clutter on top of.

Toy Barn that You Can Build!
We wanted to add toy barn to our collection of free build plans – as children love playing with horses and farm animals.
There are many different styles of toy barns. For this plan, we went for a less expensive and open option!
Why We Love this Toy Barn Plan
- Inexpensive to build with 1x2s and 1/4″ plywood
- Open style that is easy to play with from all sides
- Drive through center for tractors and horse trailers
- Good for children’s imaginations to pretend play
- Fun to customize
- Great way to use up scrap wood
- Beautiful and designed to look like a real barn

This toy barn was built by Jaime Costiglio for our Handbuilt Holiday series. Jaime shares lots more photos and build tips in her build post. Please take a second to pop over and read her post before tackling this plan.

A Blank Slate Dollhouse for Creative Play
This doll house is a blank slate to encourage creative play. Instead of following out the set things a store-bought playset does, let their imaginations bloom.
- Rooms can be furnished and rearranged as a real house
- Play with any doll, action figure or animal – my toddler is playing with ponies with it
- Can be painted or stained any color
- Beautiful and simple enough to leave in the living room
Save $200 by Building it Yourself
This dollhouse is inspired by this dollhouse costing $229. You can build your own all for around $30 in materials.
And building it is the fun part! This was a joy to build, building therapy I call it!
What About the Doll House Furniture?
The dollhouse furniture is all DIY made out of scrap wood pieces. I will be posting the plans in the next couple weeks, so stay tuned and save your scrap wood!

18 Inch Doll Bed with Trundle
18 Inch Doll Furniture can be so expensive! And all my toddlers have always “tested” doll furniture by sitting on or laying in … so it has to be made well to hold up! This year we wanted to include a sturdy, simple doll daybed with a trundle, that is easy to build. If you are gifting an 18″ doll this Christmas, a DIY dollbed is the perfect compliment to safely store the doll when not in active play.
My children always seemed to be drawn to “real” furniture that does something. So we added a trundle bed underneath – for sleepovers!
This is a VERY simple build, designed for your success.
You can customize with bedding, pillows, paint – or glue on wood carvings to make extra fancy.
