Seek for any excess material, especially for plastic toys to avoid them being consumed by children out of curiosity. If you have toys that require extreme activities, take time to check if all safety precautions are stable.

5. Keep The Toys In A High Corner

For toys which are sharp, small and causes too much clutter – such as lego, puzzles and cards. You may keep them in a storage bin on top of a cabinet – where your child cannot easily reach this.

This method of keeping toys also instills a value of discipline for some kids as they attain a mindset that the toys in the high corner of their house are off-limits for now.

6. Regularly Clean The Toys

Children can be immersed with their toys and they can be as imaginative as they can be with everything they have in hand. Their interest for curiosity is boundless. Naturally, they try things that are considerably childish – eating and tasting almost everything they get their hands on, putting all their toys at the wrong places. So, take the opportunity to clean and sanitize your child’s toys while you’re organizing it. That way you’ll also learn how curious your child is as he is growing with all the things he’s been doing with these toys. 

7. Set Aside For Giveaways

To instill a kind generous way to live to your child, set an example by asking your child to set-aside some toys for giveaways to the less fortunate. You can even accompany him as he gives toys to homeless children or orphaned children. This is one of the best experiences and manners your child can have and maintain while growing up.
