Toys can be so overwhelming sometimes. Everyone and their brother wants to give your kids a toy until one day you turn around and every square inch of your living room is covered in toys. But why do you need so many? The kids only play with a few at a time anyway. That is where toy rotation comes in.

What is a Toy Rotation?

It is pretty straight forward. You take the majority of your child’s toys and you put them away, only leaving out a select few toys for them to play with. Ideally, the toys have a very specific place in the house and once there, you rotate them often. I talked about where Mac’s toys are when I made my living room Montessori.
