As we head into the holiday season, are you wondering how to declutter the playroom before your kids get new toys?
We’ve all been there. It’s daunting when your kids’ playroom starts resembling a Toys “R” Us after a visit from Santa.
With these easy tips, you can declutter and organize everything in a way that makes both mom and kid happy!
These tips are simple enough that anyone can do them, but they’ll make a big impact on the overall organization of your space.
When to Declutter the Playroom
The best time to declutter is before new games and toys come in. This way, you can make sure that your playroom has enough storage space for all of the new toys. If you wait until after the new items arrive, it’s much harder to find places to store them!
It’s also helpful to get your kids involved in the decluttering process. Let them know that it is important to get rid of toys they no longer play with or have outgrown, so that there is room for their new presents.
Why Declutter the Playroom
Every parent knows that a playroom can quickly become a disaster zone. Toys are strewn about, clothes are thrown on the floor, and everything seems to be covered in a thin layer of grime. However, taking the time to declutter can provide many benefits.
For one thing, it can make the room more inviting and comfortable for both children and adults. A clean and organized playroom is also easier to keep tidy on a day-to-day basis. When there is less stuff to trip over, it becomes much simpler to keep the floor clean.
In addition, decluttering can help children to develop important life skills, such as learning how to organize their belongings and how to let go of things that they no longer need or use.
Ultimately, taking the time to declutter a playroom can have a positive impact on both kids and adults alike.
How to Declutter the Playroom
It can be tough to know where to start when it comes to decluttering your playroom. After all, it’s full of your kid’s toys, which can be sentimental. But decluttering is important for keeping the space tidy and organized.
Here are a few tips to help you get started:
First, if possible, take everything out of the playroom. This will help you get a better sense of what you’re working with and make it easier to sort through things.
Next, go through each item and decide whether to keep it, donate it, or throw it away. If you’re not sure about something, ask yourself whether your child has used it in the past six months. If not, you can probably get rid of it.
Once you’ve sorted everything into piles, put away the items you’re keeping. Make sure to put them in a place where they’ll be easy to find and access. Then, donate or dispose of the other items.
Finally, give the playroom a good cleaning. This will help freshen up the space and make it feel more inviting.
By following these steps, you can declutter your playroom and create a more organized and functional space for your family.

Staying Organized While Decluttering the Playroom
Once you’ve decided to declutter your playroom, it’s important to stay organized during and after the process. A good way to start is by sorting everything into three piles: keep, donate, and trash. This will help you avoid getting overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you have to deal with.
Once you’ve sorted everything, it’s time to start decluttering. Be ruthless with your decisions – if you haven’t used something in six months, chances are you won’t use it again. If you’re having trouble letting go of certain items, try storing them out of sight in a box or bin. This way, they’ll be out of the way but still accessible if you ever need them.
Finally, once you’ve decluttered your playroom, make sure to keep it organized by establishing a regular cleaning schedule. This will help prevent the build-up of clutter over time and make it easier to keep your playroom neat and tidy.
