- What is your “toy philisophy?”
I was just perusing through my emails and blogs and stumbled across this great blog by “Organizing Your Way” with some great suggestions on how to organize your kid’s toys. I wanted to pass it along since a lot of us struggle with this. She has a great thought process on “your toy philosophy” and provides some great suggestions and insights. I hope that you enjoy this blog as much as I did!
“In the wake of Christmas or “birthday month” in September (when three of our girls celebrate their birthdays in a span of three weeks), I always find myself wondering if I’m ever going to get the toys organized and put away. With two aunts, three sets of grandparents and several sets of great grandparents and great aunts & uncles, they are showered with gifts.
We work really hard to limit the number of gifts they receive, but new toys are a fact of life and so organizing and decluttering their toys is also a fact of life.
If you struggle with toy organization, here are my best tips for getting organized and keeping the toy chaos under control:
One Toy In, One Toy Out
What to keep, what to give away? In our house, the rule we follow is “one toy in, one toy out.” I’ve always involved my girls in the process of cleaning out their toys to make room for new ones. Because it’s “normal” for them, they don’t get upset by it, but rather help me decide which we should keep and which we should pass on to other kids who might not have as many toys as they do.”
