Default Storing puzzles

Ds is really into puzzles and is beyond the wooden piece ones. He has various puzzles in boxes, but they aren't sturdy and he isn't super adept at putting them away. Any great suggestions for storing puzzles?

It may not help with getting him to put them away, but I took a bunch of our puzzles that were in cheap cardboard boxes, cut the pictures off the boxes and put them in zip-lock bags. All the bags are in a plastic storage bin.

^ We do plastic bags too. It's also a space saver!

Default Re: Storing puzzles

We have then in plastic bags but in the box. I thought about cutting off the picture. The problem is that he can't close the bags on his own and has trouble opening them. I thought about drawstring bags, but then he couldn't see which puzzle it is without opening it. How do you keep the bags closed?

We use the slider bags. If you get the freezer version they are a little sturdier.
