A photo of the original piece was shared by the Facebook group Innov8 My Home, where many parents were impressed by the idea of ​​the prison for toys, and not only satisfied themselves with the likes and the co-ops, but also stated that they intended to embrace the matter themselves. One parent testified that what broke him was the collection of kinetic sand left by his young son on the floor; Another suggested taking this idea one step further and preparing the prison for children's phones and tablets as well.

And maybe it's better to throw away the toys?

If you, too, decide for a while that it is time to arrange the children's games, sort them into trash, friends or donation and leave home only what is really needed - know that this is a scientific justification.

In a paper published about a year ago on ScienceDirect, child development experts revealed that a plethora of toys compromises the quality of play for preschool children, and that an environment where there is a limited amount of toys promotes better quality play for toddlers. According to the study, when there were fewer toys in their area, toddlers tended to play for longer and longer periods of time, resulting in a more creative way of playing and using toys that were available to them in a wider variety of ways. The researchers concluded that "when providing toddlers with a poorer environment for toys, they tend to play longer with each toy, allowing them to be more focused on the game and explore more creative ways of playing."

And if it still doesn't make it easier for you to throw away the toys then you don't have to, their closed storage will do the job, too. And it really doesn't have to be in prison.
