Decluttering Your Life? Here Are 8 Places to Donate Your Children's Toys

If there's one thing every household with young kids has too much of, it's probably toys. Going through regular purges is an effective way to keep the chaos under control and sort through things the kids have outgrown. And thanks to Marie Kondo's Netflix show, Tidying Up, people everywhere are being inspired to not just toss out gently used (but perfectly playable) toys but donate them so they can bring a world of play to other children.

But where do you start? You want to follow two simple rules to make the most of your donation. One, be sure the toys aren't broken or missing pieces, and two, always clean them up before donating (an easy task for little ones to help with!). From hospitals to shelters, keep reading for a list of the best places that can always use a box of toys.
