Struggling with a small space? No play room? Influx of toys? Toddler boredom? A big giant mess of too much chaos?
Try a monthly toddler TOY ROTATION!
BENEFITS of *TOY ROTATION* from @healthiest_baby
- promotes creativity
- fewer toys improve cognitive development
- sustained play is advanced with fewer toys
- kids play in more varied ways with fewer toys
- too many toys reduce quality of play
- studies show that too many toys cause distractions
- studies show the depth and length of playtime with 4 toys was better than 16 toys
- organization and less clutter
Steps I take for Toy Rotation:
- Vacuum, disinfect old toys, empty @pehr storage bins, dust toy organization furniture.
- Return books to bookshelf- rotate out new. If toddler has some favorite books, you don’t have to rotate! Focus on toys or books they aren’t utilizing.
- Pack toys to rotate in storage boxes or closet- out of sight. Consider donating any outdated or unused toys.
- Unpack “new” toys and re-fill storage bins, play table and shelves.
- Kick back and relax while your toddler re-discovers their favorite toys!
