How to fix toy clutter (and help your kids play better!) #minimalist tips for tidy toys play roomstoday i'm sharing with you a video all about decluttering. Step 3: declutter one category at a time. now that your toys are sorted, it’s time to purge! grab a few supplies. you’ll need 4 5 trash bags or cardboard boxes, a couple of old rags (one damp, one dry), and a small hand vacuum to clean empty drawers and shelving as you go.
1. collect every toy. i say this with every organizing project! first, collect all the toys. for the majority of the playrooms i have organized, i collect and sort all of the toys in the basement. the basement is (in theory) the largest space in your home, and for many people, it’s where the majority of the toys are located. Wise parents in the store will respect you for not giving in – and the foolish ones will learn a valuable lesson. 14. equip your children to make wise choices. involve your kids in the purging process. help them make decisions about which toys should stay and which should go. this will serve them well into adulthood. First, you need to split the toys into categories: books, cars, dolls, puzzles, legos, and so on. then you need to go through each category and divide the item into different boxes. for example, if your child has 20 cars and you decided to use 4 boxes for the toy rotation, you can put 5 cars in each box. Step 2 – sort. bring all your child’s toys into the space you plan to use for decluttering. make sure this is a wide open space, such as a playroom floor or the living room. sort all the toys into different categories before you begin decluttering toys.
