How to Keep Your Child's Toys Organized
As your child grows and becomes more active, it doesn't take long for a toy collection to grow faster — and larger — than the child. How do you keep all those toys clean and organized and prevent your child from getting bored with them? Don't despair. With these simple steps, you'll discover great ideas for managing your toddler's toys, and learn a clever way to revive your child's interest in them.

Back in the Box


To organize toys, separate them into categories (e.g., building blocks, stuffed animals, cars, action figures), and make a list of what you have. Then, determine what kinds of containers to put them in.

Parents often make the mistake of buying several large bins without first deciding where they will go or how items will be sorted. By planning ahead, measuring each category, and determining which shelves or closets they will be contained in, you will find a storage system that works for you.

Then, simply set everything up and put toys in their proper places. Not only will this help you find and clean up toys more easily, but it will also introduce your child to organizational skills.
