Had a discussion with my partner yesterday on the best way to organize the #LEGO of our child (6YO) 
Set-based? Form-/color-based? A hybrid model?
She wants to keep the LEGO sets together, enabling our kid to rebuild them easily. I concur, but also want to stimulate creativity, allowing our kid to combine pieces from different sets (wheels, flowers, flat plates, rotating stuff) with generic building blocks.
So I'm looking for #advice, storage options and #bestpractices! #BoostMe

@asterix I would definitely go for form based. Use wide/low containers with removable lids (flat ones with a rim, that you could use as a tray). (High containers make for harder finding specific pieces)
My system is to put similar blocks in the same container, until it gets too full, then get a new container and split them in 2 more or less equal size (amount) types.
Also, have a container for unsorted, so you can clear away easily and sort at a more suitable time
@LegoPink Great advice, especially the low containers and the separate one for "no time right now" 
Thanks!
@asterix as a kid, my Legos were stored mixed up in a single large tub. Worked well enough for me 
@ham_bitious Same here. I had an empty laundry powder box filled with basic #LEGO blocks . There was no need for advanced sorting and categorization methodologies as I had just one (spaceship) set
