Finding A Solution
Playrooms… one of the biggest pain points within a home. This space is intended to help your child hone in on their creativity, imagination, and so many other skills. But more often than not, this space can be so full of toys that it becomes overwhelming for your child.
We also know that not every child has a dedicated playroom, so the majority of their toys may be housed in their bedroom. This makes having structure within the room even more important because of the limited space.
So what’s the solution? Through our team’s expertise and experience, we have found that regularly sorting, purging, and organizing your child’s toys can help keep your child’s spaces functional.
Making It A Habit
Regularly purging your child’s toys is our biggest piece of advice when it comes to tackling this pain point. Like any other space in your home, no matter how organized it is, if there is just too much, then it cannot function efficiently. Having organized systems in place are definitely beneficial, but they will be hard to maintain if there is a massive amount of items in the room.
The key word to remember is regularly. By making this a habit, your child will learn and expect to make decisions on their toys. Familiarizing them with this will make the process easier as time goes on. It will also teach them a sense of responsibility. Over time, they may even get to the point where they are ready to get rid of toys without you having to prompt them.
We understand that during birthdays and holidays your child will get more toys. That’s expected! But if you are making this a habit, these times will not be overwhelming because you will already have space for new toys.

Reaping The Benefits
Not only will this allow you to free up space in your home, but it will also help teach your child decision making skills and help them become familiar with giving to those in need. Instilling these principles in your child at a young age is very beneficial. As your child grows and their interests change, they will be bringing different and new items into your home. As that happens, them being able to recognize that toys may only be needed for a season and would better serve someone else will be much easier if they have had practice doing so.
