Get Rid of Toys

To help "monster" children who are into everything and always making messes, I recommend getting rid of unnecessary toys and keeping things out of reach. I always found my girls were into everything when everything was available to them.

I would go through their toys, put some away in bins or donate a box of toys. Sometimes I'd even throw away or recycle toys too if they were cheap little gadget toys. Then I'd organize what was left in places where they were only accessible if I wanted them to be (in closets, etc.). Then my kids only played with one toy box at a time, which was easier to clean up.

I would go through their toys about every six months (I still do). This drastically eliminates clutter around the house. Our kids are really spoiled these days!

I'm so doing this! We just moved and we have so many toys I find myself not wanting to unpack because I don't know where to put it all! Salvation Army and garbage can here I come!

BTW, McDonalds toys are evil...they are the DEVIL! I only let my kids go there as a special treat, so the toys become special toys. I have to be sneaky and throw them away when my boys are at school....even then, they notice they're gone and boy, am I in trouble!!!
