It's amazing how quickly my kiddo's toys can become an overwhelming mess. It used to be that we just threw everything in a giant toy box, and what didn't fit would fill up a few cloth bins. By noon each day, the living room floor was littered in toys, and their bedroom floor was barely walkable. They were resorting to dumping out an entire bin of random toys to find just one, and the mess of unwanted toys would be left untouched. It was starting to drive me crazy!
All that to say I knew we needed a better system, and pronto. So when I saw this Tot Tutors Toy Organizer, Primary Colors go on sale for $42 as a Target Daily Deal late last month, I snatched it up. I've seen plenty of these at garage sales, and never for cheaper than $30, so I figured the investment would be worth it. Believe me when I say it's a miracle worker, and could only be better if it cleaned up the toys, too!
Now we have a bin for small cars, medium cars, big cars, balls, animals, blocks, Mr. Potato Head* and all his accessories, etc. A place for everything, and everything in it's place! My kiddos are learning organization and sorting skills (read: problem solving), as well as enjoying their toys more than ever. My youngest son rediscovered his tool set, and it's occupied him for hours this week, simply because all of the tools were finally in one place! When we're done playing for the afternoon, it's easy to delegate cleaning up by type of toy (well, as easy as getting two boys under the age of four to clean up anything can be).
I know that Christmas can be a time when kiddos, especially the younger set, seem to accumulate a lot of stuff. This toy bin will save your sanity and help teach your kiddos the importance and benefits of organization at the same time! {Plus, it's on sale for just $49, including free shipping!}
{Yes, this Mr. Potato Head. His hat even plays the Indiana Jones theme song.} |
