When you have kids, it’s easy to feel like your life revolves around them. (Well, because it does.) And, as much as you love them, there are some things you might not love about sharing your home with little humans, including their toys.
In fact, toys happen to be one of the biggest pain points in our customers’ homes. Not only do they cause clutter, but it can feel impossible to keep them organized.
As parents ourselves, there are a few things we’ve learned about managing children’s toys in our homes. First, the more attractive the toys are, the less we worry about them being out. Buying wood toys, for example, can help them integrate into your home in a more appealing way.
We also do our best to organize the toys into specific bins and baskets. This way, everyone knows where everything should go, making clean up that much more effective.
As part of the Albuquerque Mom’s Blog series we’re sponsoring for spring, there’s another great article you can read about “The Sunday Box”, a “toy cleanup game changer”. We love how simple and effective this idea is!
Start with specific bins and baskets so every type of toy has a home. When everyone knows where things go, cleanup is faster and less of a fight. As parents ourselves, we have found that a simple, consistent system works better than a complicated one, especially when kids can reach the bins on their own.
How can I make toys look less cluttered in my living room?
One idea from this post is to choose more attractive toys. Wooden toys, for example, tend to blend into a home in a more appealing way, so having a few out does not feel as messy. Pairing them with good-looking bins or baskets keeps shared spaces feeling calmer.
Are your cleaning products safe around kids' play areas?
Yes. Sandia Green Clean uses green cleaning with no harsh chemicals and no off-gassing, and our products are safe for kids and pets. That matters in playrooms and living areas where little ones sit on the floor and touch everything. You can learn more on our products page.
