If you have kids, you probably have toy clutter. My kids are getting older, so that does mean less toys in the house, which would make you think less clutter? Not necessarily. Here are some ways I am trying to avoid toy clutter for 2016.
Don’t Give In To Toy Fads: Of course, every child wants the newest and coolest toy out there that they see on a TV commercial. That was one of my problems. Every time my daughter heard of a new toy, I would go out and buy it for her, which means more toys and more clutter.
Out With The Old: Start the toy purge. Kids get older and end up not wanting 500 stuffed animals or barbie dolls. Consider donating these old toys, or sell them and put the money in your child’s piggy bank.
Bins, Bins, Bins: Any kind of storage bins are a lifesaver. Organizing toys in these makes it a snap!
Outdoor Storage: We have LOTS of outdoor toys, and it can get overwhelming at times. This deck box comes in handy to store all the outdoor toys and look really nice in your yard.
A Toy Subscription Service: Toy subscription services, like Pley, make it easy to keep control of the clutter. Pley sends you Legos, K’NeX and more right to your door, your children play with them, and when they are done you just send it back! With different subscription plans, Pley makes it easy to reduce the clutter and save money. Go check out their website here and give Pley a try!

I have toy clutter…for my dog. She is addicted to getting a new toy every time I come home. It’s gotten so bad, I just wash old ones and give them to her again. I am running out of space. Thanks for the tips.
