\"the<\/a>Has it been a while since you last saw the living room floor for toys<\/a>? It\u2019s remarkable how one day you can tidy the whole house and the next day it can look like a tornado travelled straight through it overnight.<\/p>\n

Sometimes you could be tricked into thinking that toys breed more toys. In reality, though, most of the toys that your kid has are either bought by you or by close family and friends.<\/p>\n

One kid can only play with so many toys at once. Sometimes, especially for new families, the toy shopping escalates out of proportions because the new parents and grandparents get excited. Of course, it\u2019s wonderful that the entire family is excited \u2014 but sometimes enough toys, are enough toys.\"young<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re struggling with a toy collection that\u2019s exponentially expanding then hang on as we dive into how you can effectively declutter and sort the great from the average toys.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the ultimate guide to Decluttering Toys!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The first step when trying to declutter is to put a ban on toy shopping<\/strong>! Tell your kids\u2019 grandparents and your good friends that there\u2019s simply no more space for toys in your home and you\u2019ve put a ban on bringing in more.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve put a stopper on incoming new toys and things, it\u2019s time to go through what\u2019s already in the house.<\/p>\n

To make things easy for you, here are 4 simple steps to follow:<\/p>\n

1 \u2014 Categorise all the toys<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s no point emptying all boxes on the floor and try and tackle all of it in an afternoon! When you start your decluttering, keep in mind that your kids’ attention span is very very limited.<\/p>\n

For the experience to be really successful and for them to understand where their toys have gone you need your kid to take an active role<\/strong> in the decluttering process.<\/p>\n

If you can, try and categorise the toys before you get started. Go through dolls one day, toy cars the next and bath toys on the third.\"a<\/a><\/p>\n

By breaking the work and separation into small manageable chunks you can easily get a lot done without having a series of tantrums because the little ones are getting tired and wanting to keep all 459 teddies.<\/p>\n

Something that will keep all kids and adults involved and happy for longer is snacks. Throw some popcorn, some fruit and some good music into the mix and you\u2019re flying!<\/p>\n

2 \u2014 Sort through the toys cleverly<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re sorting through toys it\u2019s a handy idea to have three piles or boxes lined up.<\/p>\n
