Opt for boxes

Storage boxes are an excellent way to keep a piece of furniture or even a room well organized. Whether it's clothes or toys, each box will have a specific theme to always find what you're looking for. While clothes are most often organized by parents, children can participate in organizing their toys. A box for building toys, another for characters, another for animals, etc. This is a fun way to involve the child in tidying their room and thus allow them to find what they're looking for more easily.

When boxes are not enough, you can opt for storage baskets or toy chests for larger items like stuffed animals, for example. Also, make sure to find a pleasant system to use for books so that your child can easily access them. A simple shelf can do the trick.

Tidy up regularly

More than an optimized storage system, it's also important to use it regularly. Every evening, you can ask your child to tidy up what's lying around in the walkways, for example, and take a little more time on weekends for a more thorough cleaning. It's important that this task is done regularly to avoid being overwhelmed by the situation and also for it to become a real habit for your child.

Moreover, a regular sorting of toys and clothes will be necessary once or twice a year. The idea is to empty everything to sort and then put away. Once again, sharing this activity with your child will allow them to become more responsible, but also to know which games they no longer want to use. This way, you declutter the room from accumulation.

As for sorted toys and clothes, you can sell them at a garage sale or via an online selling site, give them to relatives or an association. You'll notice that the fewer toys there are in the room, the more your child manages to have fun, because they won't be constantly looking for something or changing their mind about the activity they want to do.
