Toy Box Garage Sale


A Point listener sent in this great tip for moms with kids who want to try to clear out the toy boxes. She writes:


I had the kids set up a pretend garage sale in the living room. I told them to gather up all kinds of things that they absolutely did not want anymore, and told them they could sell them to me at their garage sale.


I gave them between a penny and 25 cents for each item and ended up with an entire bag filled with toys, stuffed animals, and books that are going to the needy. They were thrilled with the money they got and I'm thrilled because it made a dent in the clutter!
