Rotating your kids toys solves two problems: it helps to reduce toy clutter and it also keeps them interested in their toys longer. Whenever I would pull out a “new” toy that had been stored away for awhile, it was literally like they were seeing this toy for the first time.

Another good idea for toy rotation is to create a special basket of toys for a certain occasions. For example, a client of mine was having a hard time cooking dinner because her 3 year old was always at her feet begging her to play with him. My solution was to create a toy basket of items that he only got to play with while she was cooking. I told her to rotate the toys every week or two and also to add new toys every once and awhile. The last thing I heard was that cooking dinner had become a lot easier in her household! Now that’s a nice thing to hear.
