[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like the time has come for me to say goodbye to our Ikea play kitchen and the massive bag of play food, chef's outfit, and pretend cooking equipment.  I have loved that darn play kitchen lol and we've had it since my oldest was maybe 2 (he's almost 10).  My youngest just turned 7 and hasn't played with it in at least a year but when I tried to get rid of it a while back, he got really upset.  I know he is going to throw a huge fit if he sees us removing it, so I would have to be stealthy when I remove it.

I also have a collection of like 3 doctor's kits and he hasn't used those in forever either.

He also has a lot of dress-ups and I think I will keep some of the capes, masks, but a lot of it can go too.

I want to install some different spaces for their legos and a bigger arts and crafts area.

I wonder if I should keep a small box of pretend play to have available for when my nieces (1.5 & 4) come over or when my friend with her young kids (1,3, 7) come over for playdates.

When did you know for sure it was time to get rid of those toys?? [/quote]

Put them in storage. They can use them for their kids or sell them as collectables when they are older.

Throwing away usable things is silly. [/quote]
