How do you keep your LO's small toys, that are a set, together? For example, shopkins, sets that come with multiple small characters/parts etc. Currently I have them in plastic food containers or little lunch bags (since they come with backpacks, my kids don't take a lunch yet) but then those all get thrown in a basket and it doesn't take long for the parts to end up all over again.

Clear plastic shoe boxes.
eta: it helps though, that my son is very organized. He doesn't like his stuff mixed up, so this works only because he wants it this way.

I tried random boxes for a while (shoe boxes, shape sorter, anything else small) but I've given up because the toddler has no concept of what belongs where and I'm lucky if he tosses it all in one big box, and the baby loves to get into the boxes and take everything out. A friend has a very nice system though, it's a toy box rack with shelves and it's so easy to see all the toys and pick the one you want! She only has a toddler though, he's past the dump it all out stage

Everything goes into baskets. But she's only 16 months, so nothing is really all that small. Blocks and megablocks and balls etc.

Right now many things are just thrown into bins and baskets. I can't deal with sorting everything. But I'm thinking we will start using clear plastic shoe bins for things like that. She still likes to dump though so it's not worth it.
