Time to get the toy room back under control
June 18, 2025

Toy room out of control? Here’s why it might be time for a reboot, and how to get it back on track.
If you’re a parent, chances are you’ve faced that moment - the one where you walk into the toy room and can’t see the floor. Toys everywhere, puzzles, missing pieces, and a mystery sticky patch on the rug. It’s chaos, and even just thinking about sorting it all out can feel like a mountain to climb.
But here’s the good news, a messy toy room isn’t forever. With a bit of help and a fresh approach, you can turn the space around and create a room that works for your family.
The toy room reboot
Keeping the toy room tidy often falls to the bottom of the to-do list. But every now and then, it’s worth hitting reset. Taking a bit of time to sort and tidy the toy room isn’t just about making it look good. It can help your kids play more easily, enjoy what they have, and even start taking a bit more responsibility for their space.
Tips to get started
Resetting your toy room doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Start by clearing out what’s broken, unused or no longer loved. Sort toys into simple categories and use age-friendly storage like clear tubs or open baskets, and label everything clearly.
You can also create little zones for different activities for play, read and build to give your space structure. Rotate toys every few weeks to keep things fresh, and make tidying part of the daily routine.
Most importantly, keep it practical and involve the kids where you can. A few small changes can make a big difference - and let’s not forget the bonus for you - less stepping on LEGO in the middle of the night!
