We have way too many, they are overflowing the toy shelf. It doesn't help that my MIL brought a SUITCASE full of toys at Christmas. I don't think we need to buy any new toys until next Christmas, and hopefully I can get rid of some before then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-toys-are-to-many#post-1429832 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 18:06:17 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1429832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the meanest mom ever for taking toys away on Christmas morning. She was only 17 months and didn't notice :happy: My LO won't actually play with her toys if there's too many, and by many, it could just be individual components. So, I took away the ones she doesn't touch and left the ones I want her to spend time and play with. I'd noticed a difference right away.</p> <p>Too many for us is the point when she no longer plays with individual toys and ends up just throwing them around. By toys, I mean anything she considers a toy (whisks and hair brushes included). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-toys-are-to-many#post-1429787 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:31:12 +0000 stargal 1429787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: haha me too but I have to be practical ;) I do get excited when he gets a new toy though! (Heck, sometimes more excited then he is about it!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-toys-are-to-many#post-1429777 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:25:03 +0000 Bao 1429777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has quite a bit so we will go through this summer and put them in a garage sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-toys-are-to-many#post-1429771 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:22:41 +0000 twinmama 1429771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Enough that my kids can entertain themselves, but not so many that it takes more than 5 minutes to clean up a room :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-toys-are-to-many#post-1429763 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:19:28 +0000 looch 1429763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love toys, I make no apologies for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-toys-are-to-many#post-1429760 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:18:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1429760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When they can't all fit in his bedroom or play room ;)</p> <p>I know the right thing is probably less is more, but I like having a variety of things to offer. I think right now it seems like he has a lot, but he's outgrown a lot lately so I need to get rid of a bunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-toys-are-to-many#post-1429755 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:14:22 +0000 Raindrop 1429755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends. We have way too many toys for LO but the reason is because we are trying to find what he will like that is somewhat educational. Totally need to declutter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-toys-are-to-many#post-1429753 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:11:34 +0000 Cchoi4 1429753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>same here! We keep getting toys (either hand me downs or birthday gifts). I just try to scan everyday to see what we can get rid of/donate. But IMO, the less toys there are, the more creative they have to be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-toys-are-to-many#post-1429748 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:08:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 1429748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whatever we have now is too many ;) I try to go through and declutter/remove ones she doesn't play with, but it just keeps growing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-toys-are-to-many#post-1429736 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:00:14 +0000 stargal 1429736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In your opinion, how many toys are to many?</p> <p>I'm in the camp, less is more! </p>
