Sunlight is a real fader when it comes to toy boxes. My best stuff is under wraps in a display cabinet covered with a blanket. I suppose an alternative would be some thick curtains.
How much a problem do you think sunlight is readers when it comes to fading box art?
Sunlight is best avoided for any printwork, Woodsy. Including books and also printed tinplate (I have a toy Mustang that's deep orange on one side and faded almost yellow on the other from sitting in a toy shop window too long...). I keep the blinds down virtually all the time in my little room downstairs, and any box on a shelf is on the shadow side. Thought of covering the window with UV-blocking film, but never got round to it. Your blanket sounds most effective!

Paul is right - UV rays are the enemy of color, printed or even fabric! If they're in a room with a window, at least keep the window covered with blinds or curtains - let them fade vs. artwork or boxes.
