[quote=Anonymous]OP I love to get rid of stuff and hate clutter, but I'd hold onto it a bit longer. It's just so useful when younger kids come over and 7 is borderline IMO -- you want to encourage imaginative play as long as possible and taking some of those toys away sends the message "you are too old for this." But he's not. It's okay if it's just a very occasional thing now. I'd consolidate a bit and maybe move these items to a more tucked away location but keep them until he's 9 or so. Also, as kids hit middle and late elementary, you buy fewer toys anyway (more sporting equipment, more money on experiences, but fewer toys that would go in a toy box or toy room). So it's not a question of moving it out of the way for something new the way it was when you got rid of baby/toddler stuff for kid toys.[/quote]
