For those of us that are privileged enough to have A LOT of toys, toy rotation can be a very effective way of getting the most out of each toy Posted @withregram • @healthiest_baby Now might be a good time to talk about toy rotation. Why bother? Research has shown that playing with fewer toys is associated with sustained play. Too many toys seems to cause distractions. Kids play deeper and longer when fewer toys are available. However, before you jump in and put toys away, take some time to observe your children when playing. Which toys are holding his or her interest? Don’t put away toys that your child values. There are no hard and fast rules about how often to rotate toys. However, once a month is reasonable. But do whatever feels right for your family. HINT: Don’t put toys away in front of your children and leave favourites in their usual place. Rotating toys keeps a child interested and focused in his play. Allow your child’s play to guide you on how many toys are left out and how often to rotate them. Do the same thing for books. Rotating toys is good for your kids and beneficial for your sanity too. 💫 Need more trusted parenting answers? Get one bite-sized chunk of parenting advice each week in your Inbox.
