A lightweight and foldable mesh laundry basket is a cheap alternative to expensive storage containers. The standing laundry baskets can be used to to organize the clutter of children's toys. Cheap mesh laundry bags can be purchased in different sizes for different shapes and sizes of toys.

Round Garbage Pail and Cover
Another great cheap indoor or outdoor storage container is a see-through round garbage pail with a locking cover. Instead of buying an expensive outdoor toy chest, buy a cheap round garbage pail and cover, for under $10 to store all of the "outside balls" for playing games outside.
In the colder months the round garbage pail can be brought inside to store all different sizes of balls.
