KONMARI Extreme Toy Declutter | Before & After Organization Motivation

Konmari Method has changed my life. I recently realized that I have been feeling so stressed because I was drowning in stuff. Watch me declutter my four kids' toys using the Konmari method (Marie Kondo) organization to declutter and organize everything kondo style for a clean home. I will be showing you a before and after of my basement and twins' room. Hopefully this will inspire you to declutter your home too!

My children were struggling to let go of toys as well so I gave them each a large box and they put as many toys as they could into those boxes. Then I packed up all the other toys in the house into moving boxes for three months. It gave the kids a chance to experience having less toys to clean up, less to choose from, and they appreciated them so much more. When it can time to return their toys to them they only chose the things they were willing to clean up and parted with 80% of the rest!!

I love that at 11:25, you can see that they anchored their bookshelf- I don't know why that made me happy 😊 but I guess it's because it's nice to notice when others acknowledge not to be ignorant (not that ppl that don't anchor their furniture are-in fact according to a documentary ppl don't because they aren't aware).
These decluttering vids have motivated me to declutter my bedroom.

Hi Joanna! We do the "one in, one out" method which is if they want a new toy, they have to let go of another toy and donate it. I also do that with my stuff too. Love the way their toy room looks now!

Decluttering toys is the hardest. There are so many little pieces. You and the kids did a great job.

Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Such a great reminder for me to keep my kids toys under control. Recently went through my kids toys about 2 months ago then watched them empty bins out on the floor to find the toys they wanted to play with. So yesterday I went in and gathered all the toys they dump and put in a box with a date on it. When that day comes and they have not asked for whatever is in the box all those toys will be donated. It is nice to be able to walk in their room without the fear of injuries or death 😂🧐🤦🏾‍♀️

We just moved & had bins and bins of toys that were in the storage room in the old house that we forgot about! We have been doing massive purges of everything since moving in! Feels so good!

Yes! My kids switched rooms and I used that as a good time to go through all of their stuff. They're at ages where they've outgrown lots, so it was some very significant downsizing and it is great to simplify before the school year starts again!

I am a mum to 3 kids and a childminder i have so much toys it can take over your home. My kids dont let go of any thing either its can be really hard. They wont always play with toys and one day you will miss it. I always try and remember that x

My 13 year old decluttered his books yesterday, it was a big job as he’s has loads! But he did really well and did it by himself! 👍🏻

[felichiah]

Yes, We do toy purges a handful of times a year. I have my kids help 11, 6, 4 they know that it's going to kids that can have them. Everything has a place and once that place is to full they have to get rid of things.

Wow!!Amazing!Now I see that I can't complain about my kids's stuff!I usually declutter in the summer!In the beginning I did it with them but now that they're older they enjoy doing it on their own!

[christinel]

So many small pieces!! I can see why you put it off!! You did a great job!!

I do 2 toy Purge year one right before Christmas then right before or after birthdays. The one before Christmas is the biggest 50% of the toys go to charity to make room for the new. I tell him we have to free up so much space for the new toys so any toys I don't fit go to children with that don't have any

Now I don't personally have children, but I have heard that it's best to keep toys out of their rooms. I think it would be a gentle nudge that they play in the playroom as opposed to the whole house and or basement.

[annakoyanna]

Going through the same right now. Being awfully tired mentally by all the thing my daughters owns. Good job mamma.

I actually just did a toy purge last night! It was relatively easy, but I only have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. It was astonishing to see how much toys they have when everything was laid out. So many duplicates and broken toys!

[juliahoesley]

Love doing a before school starts toy clean. Good job making it through all the toys!

[rebeccaherman]

I feel like summer is a great time to do a big toy purge to get ready for Christmas - and my sons birthday happens to be in February so we a lot quite close together. It makes it easier when trying to find spaces for all of the generous gifts from our extended family.

I watched this video with all of my kiddos to help them get motivated to declutter some of their toys. Thank you for the video!😊
