Now we bring it out when friends are coming over because they can all play 'together'. It definitely was a pain to put together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-have-collected-dust#post-2577639 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 11:08:14 +0000 snowjewelz 2577639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has too many stuffed animal; all given to us. She doesn't c are for some of them but I just keep them around for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-have-collected-dust#post-2577632 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 11:02:24 +0000 mand4 2577632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl hahahaha- My mil was so excited about this gift. It had so many steps to put together :meh: And our 3yo has probably played with it for a total of 10 minutes over the past year and a half. Takes up so much room for the amount of interest.... Thankfully a visitor seemed to like it, so we're letting him borrow it until grandma visits next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-have-collected-dust#post-2577612 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 10:36:36 +0000 mediagirl 2577612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This.<br /> And those bead maze things that everyone says you HAVE to have. My child was not into that.<br /> [attach=251/16/o9ji10.344x475.2016-06-29_11-37-03.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-have-collected-dust#post-2577578 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 10:17:03 +0000 magnoliamama42 2577578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: How old is your daughter? I've been thinking about getting a play kitchen, but we're seriously short on space (and money). I'm scared she won't be interested in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-have-collected-dust#post-2577549 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 09:41:33 +0000 FaithFertility 2577549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: DD got a day kitchen small.cheapcheap one and had no interest in it since maybe a month after her bday </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-have-collected-dust#post-2577544 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 09:35:13 +0000 Rescuemom10 2577544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has had this one play/ mini doll house thing for over a year. Barely played with it. I was going to donate it and just wasn't getting around to it. Then.....she start playing with it. all.the.time.<br /> Go figure!<br /> I need to do a serious flush of toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-have-collected-dust#post-2577536 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 09:26:57 +0000 wrkbrk 2577536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Commenting to follow! Anyone care to share what types of toys ended up being duds so I dont buy any? Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-have-collected-dust#post-2577513 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 08:55:26 +0000 magnoliamama42 2577513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on putting ours in a tupperware box and taking them away for 2-3 weeks. Then introducing them a few at at time to see if she shows interest. If she hasn't played with it in a few weeks, we'll let them go. We don't have much room for toys. So, I guess pretty much what @Mrssrs said. :)</p> <p>Thanks for posting this. I've really got to put this on my to-do list this weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-have-collected-dust#post-2577415 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 06:56:04 +0000 MrsSRS 2577415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put them in a closet for a month or two then try again. After a couple tries (6 months?) they get donated. Unless I don't like them then it's sooner. Longer for toys that are for older kids and need to be grown into. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toys-that-have-collected-dust#post-2577412 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 06:53:36 +0000 Bao 2577412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are there any toys that were bought for your LO, or handed down that didn't get played with? Or just barely? How long do you keep them around, to attempt again in the future? </p>
