10 Ways to Repurpose Old Toys

This is a sponsored post for Pley. All opinions are my own.

When it comes to toys, my biggest challenge, outside of organization, is really dwindling down the masses. With 3 kids, the bounty can really build up. Since my kids are getting older, though, there are toys from their even younger years that I know they no longer play with, but I’m attached to for sentimental reasons. Which means I’m also part of the problem. So what do I do?

If you’re the creative type, you can repurpose old toys by transforming those sentimental playthings from fun to functional pieces for your home. So those cars your son zoomed around with when he was an adorable tot or the action figures your own little superheroes were so attached to can now have a functional purpose instead of being scattered all over the floor. Because that is the very last place we like toys to be. Because it hurts to step on them.

About Pley

I’ve mentioned Pley before while discussing toy storage and organization. It’s a life-changing rental service offering access to a large selection of the hottest educative toys, 400+ LEGO sets and popular robotics toys. It even has new toy options that have just launched, including new doll clothes, electronics, and preschool toys! There’s something for everyone, with every age group and interest.

And here’s where the mom in me wants to tell you that the best part is no clutter! Pley packages get delivered right to your door. Then, when the kids are done playing, they can return them for a new toy. Easy peasy! No more toys sitting unused on shelves or waiting to be turned into a drawer knob, though that’s cute, too.

Be sure to check out the monthly subscriptions Pley offers, starting with the new $9.99 fee option. And with Easter coming up, don’t forget that Pley also makes a fantastic gift!
