When I very first checked out this clipping from people magazine that talks about exactly how lots of toys Americans have, I felt guilty as charged.
I believed that my own home most likely has tons of toys that don’t get played with at all, as well as that my kids would discover it much easier to occupy themselves in our home if they might only see the great stuff, however that the genuine treasures are most likely unfortunately tangled with products they don’t care about.
I fantasized about an electronic system that would tally the portion of playtime each of our toys get to ensure that I might get rid of the least useful products in our portfolio. (Hence the tagline of this site is “Two geeky girls’ guide to the very first years of motherhood.”)
Then, before I sat down to publish this clipping, I went into their playroom as well as looked around. a lot of of the stuff seemed quite good. It wasn’t almost as poor as I imagined. And, I’m embarrassed to state that the things they don’t utilize that are taking up area are LEGOs (I know, blasphemy!) as well as Thomas tracks as well as trains.
I always believe that if I had curated the toy collection just right, our leisure time would be harmonious, nobody would request the iPad, as well as clean up time would be a cinch.
I’m curious. What’s taking up area in your kid’s toy stack that doesn’t get used? Are you guilty of The Clutter Problem?
