Stop the Toy Insanity!
close [x]
My daughter-in-law has a wonderful technique for dealing with my grandchildren's toy clutter. She puts all of the toys into four different boxes. Every month on the first of the month, she pulls down a different box for the kids to play with and puts away the current box. As she rotates them in and out, not only does it cut down on toy clutter, the kids feel like they're getting brand-new toys every month. And when you go to put the toys away, pull out any toys that are not age-appropriate, are broken or that the kids don't like anymore and either toss them or donate them to a charity.
And now for your chance to WIN an awesome bundle of Scrubbing Bubbles® cleaning products and a $250 American Express gift card, tell us: What do you do with your kids' old toys?

We put them in the yellow drop boxes at churches. Churches always seem to know people in their parrish who can use them.
