You can help minimize the mess by boxing up all your children's toys, labeling the boxes, and storing them in the garage or basement. Then once a week, have your child box up his (or her) existing toys and take one new box to his (or her) room—to explore! The great thing about this method is that you haven't thrown out any favorite or expensive toys, and your child will feel as though he (or she) has received a new set of toys every week!
