toy storage / rotation
So what does everyone do with toys? Do you keep them all out all the time? Do you rotate daily / weekly? Do you have a playroom?
Just feeling overwhelemed with all the toys! And of course I went through them to get rid of the baby toys, and that is all she now wants to play with (baby links and boxes).. We are going to put a shelving unit in the basement for easy rotation and only keep a select few out to play with.
Just wondering if anyone else has had any brilliant ideas for toy storage...
Re: toy storage / rotation
In general we just don't get a lot for her. Just before Christmas I went through and put all the really baby stuff away in the attic. We only got her like 5 gifts and she didn't get a ton from family either so that helps.
Now, for her birthday, she got a TON. I put a few things out and then stored some for later / some that were 'older' toys. I then was able to introduce new things all the time from May onwards.
We have no playroom and just one living space that is living room, playroom, tv room, etc so we have to be minimal.
In our living room we have this:
which holds all of his little stuff (blocks, balls, cars, etc.)
We also have a small basket for bigger items like magna-doodle, golf clubs, etc. We right now have only "new" stuff out in the LR. In his bedroom, we have a huge toy box (rubbermaid I think) that houses all of his "old" stuff (which is really just from September!) and then we store even more in his closet- mostly stuff that is too old for him (Mr. Potato Head, for example). I plan on rotating a few things in & out from his room to the LR every couple of weeks as I see fit.
And, yeah we just packed up all of the baby toys into a big tote and stored it for a few months.
Our crazy, wonderful life
We rotate toys between Kodi's bedroom, the living room and storage in our basement. Kodi rarely plays in his room so we store a lot there (in cloth cubes on a tall bookcase) and just bring a few things out to the living room where he plays all day long. We have a small bookcase in the living room and put toys on that. What doesn't fit in the bedroom or living room gets moved to the basement and I rotate things to keep it fresh.

OMG YES! The second I am ready to toss a toy it's like he sense that and starts playing with it all the time.
We have 6 matching baskets that work with our decor on our book shelves and under our sofa table that we store his books and toys in.
God to have a playroom. That would be marvelous!
