make sure everything is put in its place when they have finished playing with it - it takes 20 mins to find a missing piece after you’ve played with it, but if you dont find it straight away its virtually impossible to.
have storage boxes for jigsaw puzzles / barbie dolls etc… so they are all in one place

You need to buy bins and a labeler. Categorize the toys such as all transportation toys (airplanes, cars, firetrucks) all go in one bin and label according to what is in it. Then move on to the next set such as games and do the same thing. Keep going and when you are finished call the kids in for a “training session” and teach them where everything goes. If your children are too young to read then you place pictures on the bin of the toys that are in that particular bin. It is a lot of work but well worth it in the end. If there are some toys that the children do not play with then maybe you should consider taking them down to the goodwill so they can donate them.
Take care!

individual boxes. show them how to clean up. if they have old toys they aren’t using, give them away.

Get rid of some of the toys. If they have so many toys that they can’t keep track of all of them, they probably have too many. They can’t play with that many toys anyway, so give some of them to goodwill so other children can enjoy them. The resulting group of toys will be easier to keep track of.
Get organizing boxes and only let your children play with one box of toys at a time. They can’t take out another box until one box is put away.
