PeterPan Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) We're getting radical this morning. I've been working on the games closet, and it seems I have: -preschool games -logic/thinking games -current/future games So ds is 11 and I have this sentimental attachment to a few of the games and am trying to sort out how radical to be. If I let the most unique ones go, will I regret it? My dd is 20, in college, so grandkids at some point might or might not happen. I do have guests come through who have kids, like we have some coming this month, a family with 3-4 kids ages 10 and under. My thought was to keep 2-3 of the absolute most beloved for that preschool age and donate the rest. Yes? Get rid of them all? Honestly my games closet is an embarrassment, so I need to do SOMETHING, lol. And you know, I'm thinking I could move those preschool games to some high bins in another room and keep some other preschool toys there. Then it would make sense, like one space and the options are together, done. Does that seem reasonable to you? Not far enough?

matrips Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I purge in stages usually. I get rid of the stuff that I don’t waver much about. And keep the ones I’m unsure about. Then the next wave of purging, I look at them again. I find that easier on me emotionally. I’ve been doing kids toys and books lately. I’ve filled up trunkfuls of stuff, and put other items back in the garage. Next year I’ll look through what I saved and weed it down some more. in other words, I’d save the games you are hesitating over. 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I would keep the preschool games that are well made and loved. Anything with a board that folds into quarters would be out, for example, because it won't hold up to time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with that. 34 minutes ago, HomeAgain said: Anything with a board that folds into quarters would be out, for example, because it won't hold up to time. Such a good point on the well made thing. That's probably what I was sensing and hadn't put into words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 For many games I tossed the packaging and kept the game in a large ziplock. Huge ziplocks can be ordered on Amazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Mine are in college, and we need to go through the games over the holidays. I have a huge box of them in garage. So yes, a bit overdue. Both of them like to have friends over and play, so we'll definitely keep some classics at their level and maybe one in the younger range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
