Baby Toy Management

Since babies have many kinds of toys, and babies will have a special liking for a certain toy at different times and can't let it go all day long, when parents are sorting toys, they should not classify the toys too carefully, otherwise they will even be confused about where to put them. Toys that babies often play with should be placed in a conspicuous place so that parents and babies can find them easily.

Different toys have their own suitable places to play. Some are suitable for indoor play, such as dolls, building blocks, etc.; some are suitable for outdoor play, such as remote control cars, etc. Therefore, parents should separate their children's toys and spread them in different places, and do not pile all the toys together.

Children are often only interested in toys for a short time. They may like to play with cars one moment and building blocks the next. Their interest in toys is always short-lived. Parents can give their babies some toys, and then give them another part a few weeks later. This cycle can help attract their attention and prevent them from losing interest after playing with them once.

Babies have different toys at different ages. As the baby grows up, some toys that are no longer suitable for the baby should be cleared out, and toys suitable for the baby's age group should be added. Even if the baby likes to play, they should be discarded so that the baby can learn to give up. Life is a process of gaining and giving up.

Toys should be placed neatly and orderly. Give your child a box or box for toys, with big toys on the bottom and small toys on the top. And put the toys in categories and neatly, so that children can easily find the toys they like to play with. Over time, children will learn how to classify toys and cultivate the good habit of returning toys to their original owners.

How to clean toys

Plush toys: Add baby-specific laundry detergent into a bucket, stir until bubbles appear, then put in the plush toys and other toys that need to be soaked (the mother needs to supervise and control the amount of water and laundry detergent). After fully soaking, grab them with your hands to release the dirt. After rinsing, hang them in a sunny and ventilated place to dry.

Plastic toys: Plastic toys are the most common toys and are easy to accumulate dust. You can use baby bottle cleaning liquid to clean them. For the dirty parts, use a brush to dip a little bottle cleaning liquid and scrub, then rinse with plenty of clean water and hang them in a net bag to dry.

Wooden toys: Wooden toys tend to turn black and mold in a humid environment. The cleaning steps are similar to those for plastic toys, but be sure to wipe off the water on the surface of the wooden toys with a clean gauze after washing, and place each piece separately on a clean surface to dry.

Outdoor toys: Some families place outdoor toys such as swings and slides in the yard for their children. These toys can be cleaned with a clean cloth or towel and soap.
