By simplifying your children's toys, you'll minimize clutter, reduce stress, and increase their playtime. Use this guide to declutter your toys for good. Do you know what it feels like to be overwhelmed and unable to concentrate when you have too many browser tabs open? This is how our children feel when there are too many toys around them. When children play, their brains work hard to grow and learn. On the other hand, when their surroundings are cluttered, their minds race. They have the same difficulty concentrating. The same anxiety of not knowing what to do next or even what they are looking for. They jump from one toy to another, distracted and overwhelmed, just like we jump from one tab, app or device to another. Consider the reverse situation. When you only have one or two tabs or apps open on a single device. You're better able to concentrate and finish your work, right? The same goes for our children. According to research, when children are given fewer toys, they play longer and play more creatively. But the benefits don't stop there.
