During our Cinderella Saturdays, my husband or I will tackle the toys. We use this system and it has worked well, although I must admit we have to have the kids occupied elsewhere, otherwise everything would go in bin ‘A’! (Can I get an ‘amen?)
- We divide the toys into three groups. A, B, C
- A-Toys the boys play with often and/or have educational value. The ‘A’ toys are assigned a designated bin in the zones assigned to the playroom (Lego Zone, Media Zone, Creative Arts Zone, Reading Zone, Misc. Zone)
- B-Toys we rotate to the garage. These toys will sit in the garage for about 3-4 months. If neither child wonders where that toy is and does not mention it during that timeframe, it disappears. I think we have only had this backfire on us once. I’ll take those odds.
- C-Toys that will be donated or tossed
