Hello mamas!

Toy organization…One of my most requested organization posts and I can totally understand why! I wanted to share some of my most useful tips for storing toys, keeping your spaces simple, tidy & kiddos happy!

1. Create registries for your kid’s birthdays & holidays to share with friends & friends. (because no mama wants 3 electric cars, 5 chalkboards & 7 bikes for Christmas! haha) I use www.myregistry.com & this avoids getting multiples or toys that aren’t age appropriate.
2. Sort your toys by categories. I sorted mine into the following categories: dolls, learning activites, puzzles, toy cars, play food, Lego’s, etc.
3. Count how may categories you have in order to appropriately know how many storage cubes you will need. I linked the storage system we purchased & it comes in about 3 colors & 5 sizes.
4. Keep the bigger toys on one side of the room to create a more “organized” space. You can also hide them in a large chest. I also added one to my LTKit.
5. If you like the farmhouse look that I created, stick to grays, whites, woods & black decor pieces & storage bins.
6. Purge toys before birthdays & holidays so that you don’t keep piling up toys that your kids have outgrown or don’t need. Have your kids participate in donating to the less fortunate children.
7. Teach your children age appropriate clean-up skills so that they can help you tidy up the space at the end of the day. My kids love when I sing “clean up” & it motivates them to help me pick up & they feel so proud that they are doing a chore!

I hope this post helps you tackle that playroom or room of toys you didn’t know where to start with. Remember, they are only this little for a short while & embrace the colorful toys & eye sore baby equipment. This is just a simple way of making your home your gathering nest. Until next time friends!
