“Toy Rotation: A Simple Trick for More Engaged Play”

Intro:
Ever notice how kids play longer with fewer toys? Research shows that a clutter-free play space helps children focus and use their imagination better (Dauch et al., 2018).

Body:
A 2018 Infant Behavior and Development study found that toddlers played twice as long and more creatively when they had fewer toys available at once. Rotating toys — storing some away and bringing them back later — makes old toys feel new again and keeps your child curious.

✅ Practical Tips:

  • Sort toys by type and keep a few boxes in storage.

  • Rotate every 2–4 weeks.

  • Involve your child: let them help choose what stays out.

Closing:
Less really is more when it comes to toys. A simple rotation routine makes playtime feel fresh and fun — every single time!
