I put stuff away and take old things back out every few weeks. It's like new toys! But lo is 19 months so he doesn't really miss thing yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-toys-are-driving-me-insane#post-2626958 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 18:07:28 +0000 Bao 2626958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys! Working on this now, already dumped a bin of crap in the garbage. Felt great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-toys-are-driving-me-insane#post-2626954 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 16:42:05 +0000 stargal 2626954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Donate! I donated do many of my kids toys and they don't even notice! They love and play with the ones that they have even more now. It has made clean up so much easier! They seem to appreciate them more now too! I have become a minimalist when it comes to toys and the boys really don't miss them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-toys-are-driving-me-insane#post-2626920 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 13:35:22 +0000 808love 2626920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This reminds me to get to LO's room asap and fill a donation bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-toys-are-driving-me-insane#post-2626908 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 12:49:05 +0000 brownepiano 2626908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe you could keep out a few favourites of each kind and put the extras away in storage see if they care? When I sort toys by type then I don't worry much about getting rid of some or storing some because one kid really doesn't need 7 trucks out all at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-toys-are-driving-me-insane#post-2626899 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 12:12:04 +0000 Cherrybee 2626899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh lordy, yes! The toys are taking over! I had a good sort out today but I barely threw anything out, I just felt too guilty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-toys-are-driving-me-insane#post-2626887 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 11:25:09 +0000 caterw 2626887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decluttered DD's toys and I feel like she gets a lot more enjoyment out of the ones we kept. Having too much stuff was overwhelming for her because she ended up just making a giant mess in her room while she was trying to find what she wanted. I have also told well-meaning grandparents that they cannot buy her multiple birthday and Christmas gifts every year because she has wayyyyyy too much stuff even after the purge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-toys-are-driving-me-insane#post-2626882 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 11:04:14 +0000 Andrea 2626882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd definitely purge some and then have a good organizational system. I labeled where everything should go so it's easy for the kids to clean up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-toys-are-driving-me-insane#post-2626868 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 09:56:25 +0000 looch 2626868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time, but when it comes time to get rid of them, I get those guilty feelings. So I just end up leaving them, unless they're broken, missing pieces or too babyish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-toys-are-driving-me-insane#post-2626841 Sat, 24 Sep 2016 08:03:21 +0000 Bao 2626841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am trying to figure out what to do with my LO's toys, I was going through them yesterday and trying to rearrange. They are organized into bins/baskets/shelves but I just feel like there are too many. I see them play with 90% of them though, so I'm having a hard time getting rid of them. I think I need a better organization system or something...or maybe I just need to get rid of some of it? </p> <p>Do you feel like your kids have too many toys? </p>
