Even if you don’t buy toys for your kids, you’ll probably still end up with mounds of them. Kids are always getting toys from friends and relatives for birthdays and holidays. After awhile, you may not remember what color your floor is anymore because it’s so littered with kid stuff!

Instead of letting the toys pile up, store them in bins. Keep one bin for regular use and stash the others in storage. When your child gets bored of her regular toys, switch the bin with one in storage. It will be like Christmas all over again!

Another trick is to get rid of one toy every time a new one is brought into the house. Toys can be given away at churches or in a toy drive.

You should also go through all the toys periodically and toss any that are damaged or broken. These can be dangerous for your toddler.

If you’re already using Pampers diapers or training pants, log in to the Pampers website (here’s the Canadian site) and sign up for the Pampers Gifts To Grow program.

If you don’t purchase Pampers products, then here’s a reason why you should. Each package of diapers and training pants contains a code. After logging in to the Pampers site, you can collect points and redeem them for some really cool products for your baby or toddler.

This program is available until 12/31/2006 so sign up now!
