Do you save your children's toys?

I had saved some of the toys of my 2 sons who are already teenagers now. I had the toys on display at the cabinet in our house, they're memorabilia of their youth and wish that my future grandkids could use them too later. However, some of their toys I already given to some of cousins and kids who can't afford to buy toys.

I've been saving some of my daughters toys. I'll save the ones that she really enjoys playing with. But we live in an apartment and I just don't have room to store everything. With her second birthday coming up I honestly don't know what I'm going to do with all of her stuff. She got TONS of stuff for her birthday last year. She has a lot of grandparents that love to spoil her. So I'm going to have to figure out something to do with her room so all of her toys will fit. I'm going to sell some of them that she's outgrown and never really shown an interest in so that I can make room.

My daughter saved a toybox full of toys from when she was a kid. I mean, she saved the toybox and left it full of her favorite toys and saved them like that. She did give a few away to her ex-fiance's nieces [she's sorry about that now!] but mostly she kept them. I just had the one girl and she's had three sons so there weren't toys that she wanted to really give to the boys. They mostly only want cars and power rangers and we never had much of that. We pick up a lot of the boys toys at thrift stores for really cheap. That makes us happy and it also makes the boys happy, so double good times!

I love the picture of the grands! some of those toys look familiar to me... there is a large span in my children's ages ranging from 19th year down to 5 years old. I have kept most the toys over the years, some I have donated some I have sold.... some are just classic that go from child to child. (is that a Hess truck under the chair?) I used to buy a hess truck every year for my godson.

So far we have kept all of our daughter's toys, when she outgrows them & we decide we've had enough children, we'll probably give some of them to charity, some can be held on to for our Grandkids & some of the mechanical type ones that are still in good order, we'll probably sell. As much as i'd like to keep them all, since our daughter is an only child for the moment, she just gets far too many toys - especially since there are so many Aunties & Uncles too - my partner comes from a large family so she gets way too many things sometimes. So yeah, some will be saved, some will be sold & others will be given to charity for kids that don't have many or any toys! I think that'll work really well for us!

Well...my kids are both toddlers right now. I do plan on saving their fisherprice playsets and their weebles playsets and prolly any other playsets they have (maby). When they get older and into the action figures then Im sure Hubby will want to keep them around, LOL. Hubby saved all of his toys which the kids will be getting when they get older. He saved all of his Teenage Muntant ninja Turtles, matchbox cars, ect ect...OH micromachines...we gave those things to the kids too early and they runied most of them :( They prolly could have been worth something, Later. WHo knnows. I know that those Star Wars toys u have are worth something, ecspecially if they are the origonals. Hubbys sister had a bunch of them and sold them for close to $1,0000. I couldnt believe it. When I was younger I had almost 700 My little Ponies. I ended up selling most of them at a yardsale for like 50 cents each. I wish I would have kept them around though, LOL. Ah well.

My son is only 18 months old and he already has so many toys. His bedroom has two toy storage bins in it and he has a toybox full in the family room. His baby toys are boxed up and are going to go to our storage building later this week, after I make sure there aren't any batteries left in any of them. We do plan on keeping all of his toys that he doesn't tear up, though. We want to have at least one more child, so we want to keep the toys for the next baby. That way we won't need to buy many for the next baby. After we are done having kids, we might sell or give away some of the toys, but we plan on saving some of them for our grandkids to play with eventually.

My son is only 5 and has a lot of toys and I was thinking what to do with some of them. I may just keep them but that would depend on storage as well. He already has 3 small bins full and one small box so far. It is filling up fast. I may just hang onto them incase we do have another child.

I dont save toys but my mother-in-law saved every toy she ever had and everytoy her three boys has (she is a very frugal woman) but now our grandchildren are haveing a blast playing with those toys,Like you said some are now collectors items and we have laid those aside. i think its great that someone had the thoughts to save these things as they bring back so many memories.

Well, my boys are still toddlers, but I have saved their baby toys for the next one. I have saved a lot of my own toys, and they are stored at my father's house. I hope that I one day get a daughter that I can pass them on to.
