We will keep some for gifts and their favorites (sentimental) but that's it!

But I have only done it a couple times.

I figure I'll let LO2 play with LO1's toys, and then get rid of them when she's done with them.

Our toy situation is out of control and after two years of ignoring most of this stuff, DS has decided he must play with all the toys, every day. I'm spending half my time on weekends tossing cars out of the kitchen :bummed: Corduroy on "How often do you go through and donate/sell toys?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-donatesell-toys#post-1957874 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 11:38:23 +0000 Corduroy 1957874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Almost every baby toy and outfit was borrowed (or hand-me-down) to someone that is having another baby in the next few months so it's all gone. We recently started acquiring larger "imaginative play" toys so I need to get rid of some of the early toddler toys that I don't want to see again round #2. edelweiss on "How often do you go through and donate/sell toys?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-donatesell-toys#post-1957873 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 11:38:21 +0000 edelweiss 1957873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ haven't quite worked up the energy to do this since we are hoping to have another and i'm saving almost everything regardless of whether LO liked it or not. loveisstrange on "How often do you go through and donate/sell toys?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-donatesell-toys#post-1957823 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 11:07:33 +0000 loveisstrange 1957823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ About every 6 months. I keep a few things and generally give away or donate everything else. She's 2.5, so we've really gotten rid of all her baby toys in the last year or so.

My youngest is 3.5 so as she outgrows stuff it gets donated or sent to consignment. I am saving some things though for the day when my grandbabies come visit me :silly: Sapphiresun on "How often do you go through and donate/sell toys?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-donatesell-toys#post-1957044 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:17:08 +0000 Sapphiresun 1957044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never. She really doesn't have many toys (they all fit in one 12x12 bin) so she's quite attached to the ones we have, and we'll likely have another so if/when she outgrows her toys we'll set them aside for #2. cait on "How often do you go through and donate/sell toys?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-donatesell-toys#post-1956937 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 17:26:29 +0000 cait 1956937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I go through and donate about twice a year, once in the summer near LO's birthday, and once before the holidays. I find that everyone, including LO, gets overwhelmed with too much stuff and we don't have much storage space. looch on "How often do you go through and donate/sell toys?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-donatesell-toys#post-1956925 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 17:12:33 +0000 looch 1956925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never, unless you count when we moved at 2 years of age. I passed on a bunch of my son's baby toys. regberadaisy on "How often do you go through and donate/sell toys?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-go-through-and-donatesell-toys#post-1956795 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 14:10:56 +0000 regberadaisy 1956795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never with toys. We might still have one more so I keep everything. I do plan on putting some toys out of rotation so I can bring some infant toys out.

I'm thinking I should go through them again before Christmas to make room for new ones. I'm always afraid I will regret getting rid of certain things though, and feel guilty getting rid of toys that were gifted. How often do you go through and clear out toys to donate or sell?
