To declutter too many toys, be convinced that less is better. As with any minimalist project, it always begins with a heartfelt belief that less is better and desirable. Purge often, most likely you need to make a clean-sweep of your childrens’ toys right now. Removing the low-hanging fruit, toys that are no longer used, is a great place to start and shouldn’t take too long. Put the clean, unused toys in boxes and donate them to a medical center, nonprofit organization, local church, homeless shelter, orphanage, school, or Goodwill. Set a confined, physical space for toys, whether it is a container, a shelving unit, or a closet, set a confined physical space for your children’s toys. Once the space is full, there is no room to add more toys. Limit your purchasing with a budget, if you budget for other categories in your life, you already understand how this principle helps keep your spending and consumption in check. Choose quality over quantity, you and your children will benefit more from toys that are chosen for their quality and purpose than for their sheer quantity. Analyze your own motivation for purchasing toys, most children don’t buy toys for themselves – somebody else does, if there are too many toys in your home, start with yourself.
