Five days after Christmas, does your living room still look like a disaster area? Is the playroom bursting at the seams, unable to absorb the holiday's new loot? This New Year's weekend is the perfect time to tackle toys with the kids.
Start 2015 by donating the old to make room for the new. Work with your kids to donate anything that they've outgrown. Help them sort the special or beloved toys from the rest. Provide guidance but respect their choices. They might even decide that some of the new gifts are good candidates for donation.
Kids of all ages will benefit:
- Small children practice sorting items into categories.
- Young children enjoy their first experience of charity.
- Kids of all ages take responsibility for their space and belongings, and learn valuable organizing skills.
Remember, less is more when it comes to toys.
