One of the things we hear from families all the time is: “We love the kits… but what do we do with everything when the month is over?”
The great news is, your Rory and Bear Kits are designed to be reusable, which means you’re building a growing collection of learning tools, craft materials, and sensory treasures month after month. But with that comes the need for smart, simple storage solutions.
Whether you're tight on space or just want to keep things organized and easy to grab, we’re sharing our favorite ways to store your kits; plus some Amazon finds that make cleanup a breeze.
🧠 Why Store Your Kits?
You’ll be ready to revisit activities your child loved
You can rotate materials to keep play fresh and engaging
You’ll save time + money by not buying new supplies each month
Everything will be easy to find when you need it
📦 How to Store the Preschool Kit
The Rory and Bear Preschool Kit includes over 20 reusable activities each month—think file folder games, flashcards, fine motor tools, and hands-on learning games. Here’s how we recommend storing them:
✏️ 1. Use a Portable File Box for Activity Storage
Perfect for sorting each month’s activities into folders and labeling by theme.

Tip: Label each folder by month or theme (e.g. "Zoo", "Bugs", "Weather") so you can pull them out easily year-round.
🎨 2. Store Small Pieces in Zippered Pouches or Pencils Cases
Great for task cards, letter tiles, dice, and counting manipulatives.

🧺 How to Store the Sensory Kit
Our monthly sensory kits come with a curated base filler, themed accessories, and tools for scooping, pouring, and imaginary play. These materials are durable and designed to be reused or rotated into new bins over time.
🌈 1. Keep Fillers in Airtight Containers or Jars
Preserve your rice, beans, chickpeas, or kinetic sand for future play.
We usually just use a ziplock bag!
Tip: Label the jars by month or filler type (e.g. “Ice Cream Bin Filler – June”)
🧸 2. Use a Tackle Box for Small Loose Parts
Sensory accessories like mini animals, pom-poms, scoops, or themed props are perfect for this kind of organizer.
📦 Try this:
Why we love it: Easy to see everything at a glance, and keeps little pieces from going missing.
🧼 3. Dedicate a Sensory Play Tub
Have one go-to plastic bin where you dump in your current filler and tools. When it’s time to switch it out, just empty, clean, and refill.

🧠 Bonus: Organize With Your Kids
Involve your child in the process; label bins together, sort colors or shapes, and let them choose where things go. This builds responsibility, independence, and ownership over their learning space.
Final Thoughts
Your Rory and Bear kits are more than just a one-and-done box—they’re a growing toolkit of early learning and connection. With just a few thoughtful storage solutions, you can extend the life of your materials, revisit favorite activities, and keep your space clutter-free.
