First, let us tell you that you can make housekeeping easier by reducing the clutter. Remember, clutter has many negative effects, such as triggering anxiety. One thing you need to do is to throw away broken toys and items that have missing pieces. Take out any toys that are no longer age-appropriate. Pick out toys that the children don’t play with and put them aside for a garage sale or consider donating them or passing them on to a friend.
Then we recommend dividing toys into three categories: thinking toys (puzzles, board games, shape sorters), pretend play (play food, dolls, blocks), and toys that encourage gross motor play (balls, push toys, cars). When you have the items sorted, there should be three piles, one for each category. Lastly, you need to place each group of toys into a large box and label it.
In this context, you can also give your kids age-appropriate responsibilities as it helps them learn independence and responsibility. Toddlers can learn to put toys away, hang up their coats, and do small sweeping jobs, for example. Remember, every little thing kids can learn to do for themselves is one less thing their mom has to do for them.
