I cut out the picture of the puzzle and put it and the pieces in a ziploc slider bag. (Slider bags are all-important here. I tried it with the regular bags, but my 5 year old didn't always close the regular bag properly, and I'd end up with puzzle pieces scattered from the dining room to the closet.)
All of the puzzle bags are kept in a small-ish storage tub, and it makes for easy in-and-out of the closet. Plus, getting them all out at once saves trips to the closet every ten minutes when she's done with one and needs another.

great minds think alike :)
We use this one too at our house! It makes life so easy!
I do that for small boxed games (Concentration, etc.), too - takes up a lot less room that way!
I love zip lock bags!
Great tip!

Something you might want to try after the puzzle is assembled--turn it over and draw a line across the entire thing with a colored marker (different color for each puzzle). Then you will be able to tell which of those pieces goes with which puzzle. Boy, do I love ziploc bags!
