[quote=Anonymous]I don't do one in, one out, but we do limit the number of toys by occasionally purging. Sometimes I do this by myself (usually with junk from parties or little seasonal plastic items, trinkets from the dentist, etc.) and sometimes my son and I go through and talk about items to keep vs donate. The easiest way for me is to say, "Here's three puzzles, pick one to give away."

I think my son is super lucky to have a small dedicated playroom with a play kitchen, an Expedit filled with toys and puzzles, a block area, two play dough sets, and lots of books and magazines in the playroom and in his room. I don't feel bad at all about having him purge toys. When the house is stuffed with toys, not all of them get played with. The same with art he makes - when we keep fewer pieces as opposed to keeping every single 2 minute crayon scribble he makes, he appreciates them more and they get displayed and looked at. A true collection, like lots of legos or Barbies wouldn't bother me, though.[/quote]
