I dont know if I am being a bit thick but I dont know what to call this.

I saw something similar at the Manchester Exhibition with coloured boxes with the same coloured items inside. I picked up some coloured plastic baskets and I am trying to make something similar but dont know what to call it. eg red basket has a fire engine, plastic tomato, red block, red ball etc. Any ideas?

colour baskets?
I got a bit bored and sorted my toys into colours tomorrow I'm going to put them in size order?
all things of the same colour put into a basket also of the same colour?

Pinch away - its really cheap - baskets were 50p each (I am still looking for a green one) and the stuff in it was just bits from round the house. The proper ones were about £45:eek:
