If your family loves Yoto as much as ours, you probably have cards everywhere. Sit on the couch and feel something under your butt? Odds are it’s Frog and Toad. It doesn’t take long before you’re wondering how to keep your cards organized.
After trying different strategies, I’ve found something very simple that is accessible to the kids and requires no effort on my part. I’m going to share my system with you, but there’s no single right answer. You don’t have to spend any money unless you want to. The best Yoto card storage solution is the one that fits your family’s budget and routines–something that’s easy for both kids and parents to keep up with.
Why you can trust me:
- My kids have used Yoto at every age from 1 to 6, so I’ve seen it all!
- We have 100+ Yoto cards in our house. I’m also a MYO enthusiast.
- I am in Yoto’s Creator program. My cards are Tender Tales.

We use a system that combines a keyring and a binder.
Our Everyday Keyring
Each of my children gets a customized keyring that holds the five Yoto cards they are most into at the moment. It’s usually combination of regular and MYO cards. They get to pick the cards for the keyrings themselves, which makes them feel independent and excited to listen. They also got to pick the colors on the keyrings. The keyrings are perfect for hone, car rides, or anywhere we’re on the go. They keep our favorite cards handy without carrying the whole collection. We ordered ours from Etsy, and they arrived very quickly to the US.
The Home Base Binder
At home, we store the rest of our collection–all 100-plus cards–in Yoto card binders. We started with one and eventually added more as our collection grew. The binders are easy for the kids to flip through and make keeping track of cards easy.
If you’re just getting started, one binder is plenty. I recommend this card binder. It comes in different colors, holds lots of cards, and is considerably less expensive than Yoto’s branded product.
Other Yoto Card Storage Ideas
Every family’s setup will look a little different. Some people use Welly bandage boxes, the grassy holders meant for baby bottles, hanging displays, or more expensive 3D printed solutions. Don’t worry about finding the “perfect” system. Just find one that fits your needs.
For us, the keyring-and-binder combo strikes the right balance between independence and organization. The kids can choose what they want to hear, and I don’t have to cringe at the idea of cards getting lost.
Final Thoughts
When it comes to organizing Yoto cards, the best solution is the one that keeps things simple and fun. Start small and adjust as your collection grows. And remember, how you feel about the storage system matters too!
