Can't cope with all these toys!!

[onelastchancee]

Loosing my mind over DS toys his birthday was in December and everyone has bought him so many toys and for Christmas as well l feel like bagging them all up and taking them to the tip!!

I'm constantly going behind him and putting them back in to his toy box. Any ideas with what to do I'm so fed up up of my living room looking like a shit hole.

And if I step on Lego one more time I'm going to loose it!

Put at least half of them away out of sight. Then swap them out in a week or two.

Declutter. If he's young, when he's not around bag some of his old toys up and put them away. If he doesnt miss them, get rid. If he's older ask him to help you choose some to give away.

I feel your pain. I have two dc, one who's birthday was a few days after Christmas. We are surrounded by toys. It's all too much and excessive. I'm going to have a clear out when they're back to school!

If he's old enough to be tidying up himself - I love this toy jail idea to encourage him to keep them in their designated places/boxes.

Otherwise, he's young enough not to notice some disappear and therefore I'd be throwing a load in the shed/attic personally.

We did a ‘give to the poor people’ declutter a couple of times a year when we got to this stage.
They would sort though their toys and tell me what they no longer wanted.
I would then clean them and what was still good was donated, the rest binned.

How old is he? Does he actually want all the toys or would he be happy to give some away? If he wants to keep them all, can you move some of them into another part of the house? His room, the loft so you can swap them round in a couple of weeks? Bit late now, but we have got rid of all of ds toys from his room, except the Lego. It’s all he played with anyway and onceeverything else had gone and we invested in some good boxes for the Lego, it all seemed much more contained.

Save some for a rainy day.
Sell old ones.
Take some to Granparents for when they are there.

Put half in loft and rotate monthly
