School Holiday Tips: Organizing Toys and Making Home Fun

School holidays bring joy—and often, a bit of chaos! It’s the perfect time to bring order to the toy collection and create a home that balances fun and structure.

1. Organize Toys by Type

  • Group toys into categories: puzzles, crafts, action figures, dolls, etc.
  • Use clear or colorful bins to make cleanup easier for kids.
  • Designate a “favorites box” for everyday use.

2. Define Play Zones

  • Set up a specific rug or mat where all messy play happens.
  • Establish routines with time for free play and structured activities like drawing or reading.

3. Declutter and Recycle

  • Donate unused toys.
  • Repair broken ones together as a creative project.
  • Reuse old pieces in art or DIY decorations.

4. Screen-Free Activities

  • Cook simple meals together
  • Indoor camping or storytelling
  • Organize “clean-up” races or family challenges
