Shopping Clean Up the Clutter Game

This especially works for little girls because we all know that little girls love to shop. Lay out all the toys in different categories.
Stuffed animals
Dolls/cars or action figures
Accessories
Little toys(Shopkins,LPS) make sure that these are all together.

Set it up like a yard sale with blankets under the stuff. Give her/him some change. I just used change around the house. Use the silver for the big stuff, and penny's for the little. You can use fake money too. Then have them go on a shopping spree. You'll be surprised what they get rid of when they only have a limited amount of coins to spend.

What ever they don't buy donate.
Questions I asked her were do you have all the prices to it, if not is it really worth playing with. We put all the little toy sets in gallon sized zip lock bags. Another question is how long has it been since you played with that is it worth keeping over your other stuff.

We put all the little stuff in bags in the toy box. Those are easier to get to. We put her dolls in the highchair and cradles. We put her stuffed animals arranged on her bed. We put shoes in a door hanging shoe organizer. You can also use those for little stuffed animals. The more stuff you can hang on the wall the better. Get a stuffed animal net to put stuffed animals in. Hang stuff with command hooks so you don't mess up your wall.

You can use the change that you found and they spent to buy them something new.

Make a rule that for every toy you get, get rid of 2.

Explain to them that this is supposed to be fun. And that their room will look a lot better. And if it looks better. Then you can have company over to play with you with your toys. And it will be much easier to find the stuff you want to play with.

Fun Ways to get Kids to Clean the Room

Here are some ways to make cleaning up fun and easy!


Trash Pick-up
Give the kids 2 bags. Tell them who ever has the most trash in their bag wins. Kids will have a lot of fun trying to get every little piece of trash off the floor to fill their bag


Laundry Pick-up
Give the kids 2 bags. Tell them to pick up their clothes and smell them. If it smells clean, put in the closet. If it smells dirty, put in the bag. The bag has to filled with their own clothes. Set a timer to however much time you think they need to pick up all of the clothes.

Fashion Show
Kids grow up really fast, so its important to check if their clothes fit regularly. Set up your own model runway and get them to try on their clothes. If it doesn’t fit, put it in a give away box. If it does fit, let them strut it down the runway and put it back on the hanger and try on something else.


Music
Turn some music on and see how many things you can get done before one song is over. It makes it more enjoyable, too, when its not quite. It also keeps you motivated and active.

Here are 2 of my favorites to get you started:
