Frequently asked questions here are: What the hell do you do with all your kid’s toys?I get it because managing a child’s toys can be a full-time job in itself.? my best advice is Keep it as simple as physically possible. I know children have a lot of things (for example, many ), but I tend to believe that we are all I am much happier with less of the better. I don’t think any of us need more than we are brainwashed into believing. I clean my house regularly and my daughter’s toys are no exception. If you don’t get used to it and love it, you find a new home.
Studies show that children can actually get overwhelmed with more than 16 toys at their disposal. Too many things to grab their attention statistically makes them less likely to play for a long time. I mean, I get it, because – same!So Cutting things down regularly is my best tip For managing children’s toys.
Rotate things frequently – I keep a lot of stuff in her closet when not in use, and only take out a few things at a time. Most of those items are all visible and tucked into a basket for her to access without having to hunt around (I love something) like this That’s why it’s wide and shallow!) Baskets are my very good friends here, let me tell you.
Another tip, if you have a choice, grab a cute toy. I mean, it’s either successful or it’s broken, and we’re not used to big, ugly plastic things. But when I have a choice, I definitely choose it! Somehow it makes tripping over a wooden rainbow just a little less painful (am I the only one?) Best of all, having less stuff around makes cleaning up easier at the end of the day. That’s it.
lastly, I tell myself it’s just the season. There will come a day when I will miss seeing her little things scattered around the house, and I know that. And I do my best to accept it as best I can.
With that in mind, I thought sharing toys with my daughter would also help actual Play around with it in case you’re looking for inspiration for yourself. (For reference, my daughter is now 3.)
They’re all so cute and I’ve played with a lot of them, but this set has been the one that has stuck with me the longest (I love anything baby care related). The first time he came home with us, she slept with the little rabbit for a while.
Classic.
I enjoy this as well. With markers, you can draw all over the animal, put it in the bath, and the color will fade quickly. very good. she likes it very much
she sleeps with this every night
I am a huge fan of toys that grow with her and I know she will continue to use this for years to come
Owning an anatomically correct doll has always been important to me for many reasons – these dolls are really cute
She plays with these all the time – in the sensory bin, in the dollhouse, in the bath, playing with playthings…we travel, go out to dinner Sometimes I carry around a little pouch with a few of them tucked inside…they are perfect for:fantasy play
Anything that helps her take care of the baby. This set is especially cute (I also love that they support local artists).
One of her birthday presents this year. We love to have tea parties, and the light-up waffle maker is especially popular here.
It’s another open-ended toy that we play with in different ways on a regular basis. In addition to building towers and bridges, you can also string beads, create tow trucks and dominoes trails. A small wooden person is also included. Designed by child development experts, they are awesome!
A great combination with the wood block set above. We build a lot with them. She also likes making these into beds for various little babies and figurines. I am always amazed at how creative she can be with them. (Bonus: The ones on the shelf are also very cute).
I was surprised how often she played with this. She always takes care of different babies.
When my daughter was born, a seasoned mom friend gave it to me as a gift. We have a lot of bath toys for my daughter to choose from, but she always picks this one first. Since then she has gifted it to several people and for some reason they all said the same.
Another great open ended toy that will keep her entertained now and (hopefully) in the future.

My mom gifted this to us in our first year and we were lucky enough to work with Loveevery in the years since. These are designed by child development experts based on Montessori principles and are always without limits. They are extremely engaging, keep her busy forever, and eliminate the guess work in figuring out what she needs to grow at each stage. Plus, it’s very beautifully crafted, using the highest quality materials. i love them so much Worth every penny.
