What do you do with outgrown toys

I don't have anyone to hand them down to. Some stuff we have listed on Craigslist but what are other options? I really don't want to throw away as they are fine. Not thinking id get enough for them to pay for a mom to mom table.

Re: What do you do with outgrown toys

  • I take them to once upon a child knowing that I won't get much for them....or wait until the following summer and have a garage sale.  Whatever I get out of them from Once Upon a Child usually goes right into picking up some clothes for the boys.

  • Goodwill, Salvation Army, or donate them to a women's shelter for kids maybe.  See if a church nursery might want some.  Baby resale or garage sale.  
  • Does once apon a child only take larger items? Do they take things like stuffed animals and stacking toys?

  • Stacking toys yes. Stuffed no. The take except saucers and boucny seats swings. All that.

  • I'm not sure how easy they are to search, but I belong to a few local buy/sell mom groups on Facebook. I've gotten some really good deals and sold some stuff too.
  • You can check and see if they have a Just Between Friends event in your area and you can consign them there. They usually have an event twice a year (I think) and I'm considering consigning DD's old toys there are the next local event. I've found some good stuff at those sales before.

  • I would try to find a consignment place. There are kid's consignment stores (at least where I live) and consignment sales that happen yearly.


     

      
  • Since we are trying for #2 we are keeping all of our stuff and our one Aunt is giving us her daughter's clothes for justin case. 

    If you are not trying to have another in the near future I would find a woman's battery shelter or somewhere else to hand them down to if you can't sell them at a garage sale.

  • I am keeping them for now since we will be trying for #2. If we are only going to have 2 then I will sell them or take some stuff out to my grandmas so the kids will have toys to play with.

  • Since we're hoping to try for number 2 this year, I just clean them up really well and pack them away. After that I will probably try to sell some what I can and donate the rest.
