🧸 How to Get Kids to Clean Their Rooms
Before your kids become attached to all the gifts they receive, plan to set aside at least one, if not more, so the toy or gift can be donated.
This is easier to do when kids are younger. They will not remember all of the gifts they got. Set them aside for a while and see which ones they forgot about and hide them.
New toys will be easier to donate around the holidays.
As your kids grow older, have a conversation with them to see if they would be willing to donate toys they receive before opening them at the party.
It's up to you if you want to tell guests, but I wouldn't recommend that. Guests want to feel appreciated with the gift given.
You do appreciate that gift. It's just that you have so many toys and it's not possible for your child to play with all of the toys.
It would be better for everyone to donate a new toy to a child in need. It will save your sanity in the long run when it's clean up time
Less is more. Your kids will enjoy playing with their toys and have more room to store them when there are less to clean up at the end of the day.
The Underground Toy Society children's books *(affiliate link) can also be a fun way to talk to your kids about keeping their rooms clean to keep their toys happy, as well as instilling a sense of giving to others who may be less fortunate.
