The Organization of Kids Toys

If you have kids, then birthdays can be an
exciting time. But it can also be expensive, stressful and somewhat
frustrating. This brief article will cover the basics of celebrating
birthdays with kids and kids toys, including how to shop for the best
deals on toys, how to organize toys, and what to do with the toys that
you already have.



If there are children in your household,
then a birthday is sure to mean lots of toys. If youre like most
families, you have spent the weeks prior to the big day dashing about
town, running from one store to the next, looking for the perfect toys.
Do you know what kids toys to buy How much should you spend on them And what about the toys that your children already have
Shopping for kids toys should be done with care. Take the time to look
through sale ads, clip coupons, check out stores each week, and even
shop online to find the best deals on the musthaves for each year.
We have a rule in our household, and the rule is that we do a miniature
spring cleaning in the weeks leading up to one childs birthday. The
common areas and bathrooms are easy enough its the kids bedrooms
that give us trouble. With so many kids toys strewn about, its hard to
know where to start. But the easiest thing to do is grab two trash
bags. One bag will hold broken and old toys that are ready to be
discarded, and the other bag will collect those kids toys that can be
donated to charities and shelters.
Removing readyfortrash toys is easy enough, but how do you know what
to donate Well, what comes to mind is an easy rule for household
organization if it hasnt been used in six months, then chances are it
wont be used, and so it is ready to hit the road. In the case of
children and kids toys, that time should be reduced to three months. So
there you have it if a toy hasnt been played with for three months,
give or take a few days, then its ready to go.
Once you have cleared out all of the old and are ready for the new, you
may be looking at ways to improve storage and organization. I cant
recommend enough a good set of storage bins. They are perfect for
organizing kids toys of a variety of shapes, sizes and purposes. These
bins are often designed so that they may be stacked on top of one
another, and some even come with a plastic or wooden display shelf
that angles the bins upwards and outwards, which makes accessing the
bins to reach for the toys within a simple task.
