We decluttered toys about a year ago and I'm setting up our playroom for the kids to play. After a declutter, I focus on organization, rotation, and invitation to play.

As a child that didnt grow up with that many toys at all, but had a 10 or 15 group of friends to play around all year long, I kind of appreciate community more than amount of objects. But I am from Brazil, different culture. Didnt grow up with legos, videogames, etc. I remember I used to stink badly after playing with friends around my neighborhood. Scars from falls, climbing trees, barbed wire... 1991 born. Pre-internet. Good times.

Creative play flourishes in an environment that is organized and less cluttered. Your children immediately began to incorporate a variety of toys in a blended manner once everything was organized and available. I especially love to see learning toys and disvovering-- "wow, you stacked the buildings" as big brother encouragement.💓

Yessss living for this collab 🤩🤩🤩 If one kid wants to get rid of something and another doesn’t I would watch if they actually use them in the coming month (set whatever timeframe suits you) and if they don’t use it I would declutter it. In my experience they want to keep almost everything but some things they just pull out but do not actually play with. Love to hear their happy giggles from their fort

@locleen 3 года назад

I’m a retired 4th grade teacher. The pattern blocks you were thinking of getting rid of are great for teaching fractions. One thing I I used them for was working on what a whole is. For example you can use a hexagon as a whole but you can also say what is a fraction if the whole is 2 hexagons. Example: What is 1/3 of a two hexagon whole. It’s might sound obvious but it is actually a tricky concept. You might want to look up pattern block activities.

Erica, as a homeschool mom of mostly grown up kids, I just want to say you are doing such a great job. You are so respectful to your kids. That will serve you well in life long relationships with them. Also you adapt and adjust to the reality of what's really happening in your home. This is so important! In our family we have a value of "continuous improvement." Just keep being intentional, evaluating, adjusting, improving. This is a life long rhythm of growth! Before you know it, you will not have toys all over the house because the kids will be older. But you will still all be growing together based on the relationships and habits you are forming now. Thanks for sharing your life!

Hi Erica. You suggested to buy containers after decluttering. I'm now on a further decluttering session and notice that some containers I bought are now superfluous, the shelves are enough to keep the stuff, no extra boxes and baskets required. This reminded me of the Marie Kondo suggestion to not buy containers and be creative with what's around.

With your blocks on the shelf make a paper mat showing the outlines of the different shapes so the children can see where to put everything back. That play table was a great buy. Nice for them to be able to leave train track or Lego creations intact for a few days without them getting in the way.

I really enjoyed this video for two reasons--the topic (my son is 5) & it was really well produced. I think maybe a couple more coil baskets & you'll be set. Clean up with the kids every night or every Friday to sort everything again. I'm realizing myself that you must accept a little mess when kids are young & imaginative! I love the invitation to play approach. My son enjoyed this video too!

@vintageresalemama903 3 года назад

Sometimes it's hard to declutter when you have three kids with different likes/interests. I like the idea of rotating toys. Just an idea: Maybe you can buy a few rugs so the kids can sit on the floor in their playroom, especially for under the tent. Maybe it's because I live in a cold climate but I know personally when my daughter was young we played on a carpeted floor.

@EricaLucasLoves 3 года назад

we think alike! I gave them a little circle rug from the family room for their fort. :)

@pammullin2160 3 года назад

Toy rotation is a great idea...they just don’t need that much to play with because then they have decision fatigue. I used to have a home daycare and at a certain time everyday...2:30pm, it was clean up time. Everything was to be put away and tidy and then after that it was book time and maybe a game to play together that is easy to clean up before then went home for the night. This teaches them skills that they need and it will help you keep control of clutter and reduce the visual stress and the feeling of being overwhelmed.

@01baia 3 года назад

If you can put a silhouette of each shape on the back of the shelf, it helps the children put them away in the correct places. You can make silhouettes really easily by tracing each block directly onto Contact paper, then cutting out and sticking onto the back of the shelf.

@marie-louiseweerheim4224 3 года назад

@jacquelinepetersen9061 3 года назад

Just an idea, maybe some flashlights for their fort? They may stay in there longer if they had some light that they can turn on an off easily. The kids seem to be very creative and that's a blessing. Thanks for sharing

@veronikam3836 3 года назад

Decluttering toys with kids is the hardest. It helps to find categories they are more willing to let go of. For instance, my daughters are very attached to their dolls and stuffed animals, but are willing to let go of puzzles and board games they have grown out of. Also, I try to buy very few new toys (only for birthdays or Christmas). When I buy something new, I try to make it either something that gets used up (such as craft supplies...) or something for outside, or even activities. It is really hard though...

@amynoel6782 3 года назад

We homeschool and I have five children. I decided long ago that we would just choose to keep a few wooden dollhouses and a basket of blocks. It is open ended in that they can use calico critters or dolls they get as gifts. They create furniture out of scraps of wood, rocks, etc. Rugs from yarn, farm animals, tiny kitchen play, etc. It is ever changing and even though there are so many tiny parts to it- it is all so small it stays in one small area. Blocks are a nice addition because they can become more houses, barns, etc. My girls sew little clothes for the dolls, make tiny clay food for the kitchen. Each child has a couple dolls or stuffed animals in their beds and that is it. Other playthings like bikes and the trampoline are all outside. It is wonderful. I used to have many more toys and they caused me constant stress. My children are the most creative people I could imagine and it is largely due to huge amounts of unstructured time, mostly no screen time, no video games, and almost zero store bought items to play with. Children are amazing they will figure it out.

Not sure if you are still looking for lego ideas, but my daughter lays down a bid sturdy blanket. Lego are in a low profile fairly big bin. My granddaughter, who spreads out with lego can play away.... when done, my daughter and granddaughter pick up the blanket and dump it back into the bin like a funnel. Piece of cake. They have a shelf for buildings in progress. A tray would work for the ongoing buildings too.

@alambsurroundedbywolves3729 3 года назад

I don't know if it's "a massive amount of toys" (as someone said in the comments) compared to a typical American family, but for sure I was thinking that's A LOT OF WORK to take good care of. At least for my family and our messy habits that amount of toys would be TOO MUCH and actually a disaster! It's really difficult to keep all that stuff clean and organized. Kids really don't need that many toys. But of course it's not my place to say what's "too much". If your family has the time and energy to deal with that amount of stuff and kids love to play with them all, then it's not a problem. But I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble. Good luck! You've done an amazing job so far! I can't believe the amount of stuff you started working with in the beginning. You've been working so hard! It's been a pleasure to follow your progress.

I know you like the dinning room table for school, but I assume you have to clear it off every night for dinner. So what if you put 2 desks back to back and the third desk on the end and pushed them against the wall in the classroom? Basically forming one big table. That way you aren't in the center, the kiddos are together, you can maneuver a bit better, and you can keep the dining room table clean. Just a thought. ❤ love your videos so much! Keep 'em comin!

At church with those wooden blocks the lady made a picture of each of the block so kids would know where to return. It works so well.

@TheWhimsyFarm 3 года назад

If you want to help your kids keep the blocks put away like that..... you can get contact paper and trace the bottom of the blocks out then stick it on the shelf that way when they move it off the shelf they have a visual reminder of where to put each block shape this is what I did in my pre k classroom it worked out great kinda like puzzle for them at the end of play time.

They are a bit young for the transformers.. I thought that in your last video.. They are not easy to turn from car /truck to robot and back again... Especially at that age!.. Poor Andy😢. I never did toy rotation with my kids.. But they have the IKEA Trofast storage shelves.. With different themes in each bin (eg wood building bricks, wood train track and trains, Lego, Playmobil volcano and Dinos, Playmobil forest and animals, wood marble track, building site and vehicles) .. And they are only allowed 2 bins at any one time.. If they want a different theme bin, they have to put one back before they take out a new theme...but that is all the toys they have... In Europe kids don't have as many toys as American kids. (USA consumes 40% of world toys, but only has small 3.2% of the world's kids: see you tube documentary "A cluttered life; middle class abundance" from UCTV about the results of a US scientific study).

@EmmaAppleBerry 3 года назад

We had a big blanket/toy box where wed have to put all the toys away that we werent actively using that were outside of our rooms and if they were in our rooms like the teddy we slept with or stuff that was ours alone we had to take care of and keep tidy aka not on the floor under the bed or shoved somewhere lol. My mother told us to say goodnight to our toys and make sure they were safe in their homes with their family so they wouldnt be scared or hurt on the floor etc. It really helps a lot of children understand why which then motovates them to do it without being told because they dont just get told because i said so but understand why its important. This teaches self discipline as well like oh no teddy was on the floor last night and got hurt or sick and has to stay at the toy hospital for a week so you cant see him til then lets wrote a card to teddy to get well and say sorry for not making sure he was safe and tucked in.

@EmmaAppleBerry 3 года назад

I think having toys and dress up and things related to play should be isolated in one spot (even the rotational stuff can be in the same space just out of sight out of reach etc) so you can really see how much you have and the kids can have one tub thats their specific toys that they dont want the others to touch and the communal toys can be out for everyone.

@maeb7723 3 года назад

I have found that when I ask my kids if they still use/want something, their answer is almost always a yes, even if they never ever play with it. I think they are like us, that we need to encourage them to build that muscle of actually deciding if they use it, or if they just want to keep it because they are used to keeping it. When my kids tell me they still use something that I am not so sure about, I say, "Okay, then let's set it aside for a couple of months, and if you need it, you can ask me for it. If not, then we'll pass it on to another kid who has less than you and might use it all the time." 9 times out of 10, that item never gets asked about again, and it goes straight to the donation center. Every family is different, but just wanted to throw it out there that I don't think our kids can always gauge what they actually use and play with. Just my thoughts.

We are raising 5 grandchildren with an age span of 12 years from youngest to oldest, and we are now living in our 3rd house with them. We have accumulated a huge amount of toys for each age range. Lots of vertical storage and clear containers help keep everything organized and accessible. We dedicate one room as the play room, and all the indoor toys, books, and games live there. By using floor-to-ceiling shelving on the longest wall we avoid needing smaller pieces of furniture for storage and free up a lot of floor space for playing. The same wall unit has moved with us from house to house, and we just need to change the configuration a bit each time.

Is it less choises but still many of one choise (like one big hamper of duplo packed or many barbie-related stuff like a bunch of dolls and a bunch of clothes) or is it less in each choise as well (small bin of duplo or just a couple of barbie-dolls)?
