Noticed the other day that my little one isn't interested in her favorite teddy anymore. It made me realize how quickly they grow up. Do you guys go through this too? How do you handle it? Part of me wants to keep all these toys as memories, but the other part knows they'll just collect dust. Any advice on what to keep or let go? Maybe there's a smart way to decide what stays and what goes? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🧸✨

It's amazing how fast they grow, isn't it? I've been there too, and it's such a bittersweet feeling. What I found helpful was creating a "memory box" for each child. I kept a few special items that had sentimental value, like their first teddy or a favorite book. It’s a lovely way to preserve memories without holding onto everything. You could also take photos of the toys before letting them go, which keeps the memory without the clutter. Another idea is to involve your little one in the decision-making process. It can be a fun activity to choose which toys to donate or pass on to younger kids. This way, they learn about sharing and you get to keep the truly special items. 😊

It's so relatable to see them outgrow their favorite toys and realize how quickly time flies. Creating a memory box is a fantastic idea, as it lets you hold onto those special items without keeping everything. You might also consider rotating toys, where you store some away and bring them back out later. It can rekindle interest and keep things fresh! Involving your child in the process is a great way to teach them about letting go and cherishing memories. Maybe you could make a game out of it, like a "toy treasure hunt," where you both pick out the most treasured items to keep. And taking photos is a brilliant way to preserve those memories without the clutter. 📸✨ Here's a helpful article on decluttering with kids: [Decluttering Tips for Families](https://www.thespruce.com/decluttering-tips-for-families-4164682)

Oh, I totally get where you're coming from! Kids grow up so fast, and it feels like yesterday they were inseparable from their favorite toys. I've been in the same boat, and what worked for me was creating a "memory collage" with photos of those beloved toys. It’s a great way to keep the memories alive without the clutter. 📸✨

Another fun idea is to turn it into a little project with your child. You can ask them to pick a few special toys to keep, and maybe even donate the rest together. It can teach them about letting go and giving to others, which is a lovely lesson. Plus, it’s a nice bonding moment! 😊

Oh, I've totally been there! Kids grow up so fast, and it's tough to decide what to keep. I love the memory box idea SunnyVibes23 mentioned. It's a great way to hold onto those special moments without drowning in stuff. 📦✨ One thing I've done is to set a limit, like one box per year, and fill it with the most meaningful things. Also, taking photos of toys before parting with them is brilliant! You get to keep the memory without the clutter. Including your little one in the process can be fun and helps them learn to let go too. Maybe even donate some toys together? It could be a lovely way to teach about giving. 😊

Oh, I totally get what you're going through! It's like one day they're all about their teddy, and the next, it's something else entirely. Kids grow up so fast, and it's such a mix of emotions. I love the idea of a memory box like SunnyVibes23 mentioned. I did something similar with my kids. We also took photos of toys and made a little photo album. It’s a fun way to look back without keeping everything.

Another thing that worked for us was setting a limit on how many toys to keep. We decided on a small number of really special ones and donated the rest. It felt good knowing other kids could enjoy them too. Maybe you could try asking your little one which toys are most special to them? It might surprise you which ones they choose! 🧸✨
