Try some bright colored plastic stacking crates. You can turn them on their side and stack with books, stuffies, and small toys. I got some plain buckets and decorated with stickers for mine and they can put cars and small toys in them. And they are light enough for them to carry out to living room to play.
Storage ottomans! A bookshelf or two couldn't hurt either.
Good start! Now throw the box away and start fresh.
In my opinion, and from my experience, kids only use perhaps 2 percent of the toys that are in their room. Parents tend to hoard toys "just in case". If little tommy hasn't played with it in the last six months, it needs to go away. The best way to organize is to get rid of things that are not needed. After culling out the keepers and no-keepers, a toy box should work just fine. The child should not have more toys than will fit in a typical toy box.
Im all about smaller containers within the larger one so that you can take out just a few at a time, and find what you're looking for easily instead of digging through a big heap of toys :)
When I was a small child, my mother had a toy box in the attic, that we did not know about. She would pull a few toys out of circulation, then rotate. When the toy reappeared, it was like new. After birthday parties, she also quietly held back some of the suitable toys like coloring books that we did not really need at the time and when we were sick, she would pull them out - so we had something new to entertain us. I never knew any of this until I was grown. Also keep a few small toys - like character figures in the car. They just stay in the car to play with. Also keep a small bag in the trunk, so when you visit someone, you can just pull this out and they can be entertained.
Those stackable boxes that can be stacked on top of each each, organize by like items. The toys he likes best put where he is able to reach them.
