#59: 5 Smart Ways to Organizing Kids’ Toys Before the Holidays

How to Organize Kids’ Toys and Keep Your Sanity This Holiday Season

The holiday season is here, and with it comes the joy of giving, family gatherings, and—let’s be honest—a tidal wave of new toys. As parents, we’ve all been there: staring at the pile of blocks, dolls, action figures, and craft kits that seem to multiply overnight. It’s overwhelming!

But here’s the good news: with a bit of planning and the right strategies, organizing kids’ toys doesn’t have to feel impossible. Whether you’re preparing for the holidays or just trying to reclaim your living room, I’m here to help you create systems that are both practical and easy to maintain.

Why Organizing Kids’ Toys Matters

Let’s face it—when toys are everywhere, it can feel like chaos. Kids struggle to find what they want, you’re left stepping on rogue Legos, and cleanup becomes a battle no one wants to fight.

By setting up an intentional system for organizing toys, you’ll:

– Reduce clutter and overwhelm.
– Make it easier for kids to find and put away their toys.
– Create a calmer, more functional home.

And the best part? Teaching your kids how to organize their toys gives them valuable life skills they’ll use for years to come.
