Toy Swap Party (Day 17)

How many toys do you pick up in a day?  How many toys have you purchased throughout the year for your child, not including Christmas?  With all those toys how many do your children actually play with?  How many of your friends and family members have these same toy issues?  I have the answer to your problems.  A toy swap party.

Establish rules such as toys must be clean and in good working condition.  If you like, you can ask that they only bring a certain number of toys and they should take home the same number of toys that they bring.  Let everyone know what you are planning.  Make sure they know the rules and to let you know if they would like to participate.  Once you have an idea of who will be attending, figure out where you will have your swap.  If you make it small enough you will be able to have it at home; this will be more intimate and less complicating.

Sort toys into different categories for easy viewing  You must predetermine a method for swapping popular toys.  If more than one mom wants the same toy put the names in a hat and draw one.  After the toys have been swapped and you still have some left over, box them up and donate.
