How to get rid of 3 year old’s toys

She’ll probably be okay with giving away one or two toys. For the rest of the clutter you’re going to have to box it up and deal with it yourself. After you’ve boxed it,put it in a closet as nd wait a couple weeks to see if she misses anything—if not, drive straight to goodwill (or the dump.)

Yes to donating toys. But cut out dumping them in Landfills!

We had a mice problem a year ago. During that period, they nested in some stuffed animals which we of course threw away. From then on, whenever something is missing (yes sometimes it’s because I disappeared toys), my 3yo daughter figures that the mice took it. She just moves right along with that in mind. It’s adorable and working out to our advantage.
