HELP! My house is being overcome with stuffed animals!!!!!

UGH! Confession, I always cringe when LO gets a stuffed animal. One or two is cute and maybe she will take to them the older she gets and form an attachment, but seriously I feel like people know this about me and do it out of spite! (Kidding!) Including my husband!!!!! he brings her one back every time he travels for work. UGH.

So, honestly they are just taking up space and I don't want to keep them all. Anyone have any good ideas on what to do with them!?!?! please share!

    I would hang onto them. When I was a kid I had a huge bookcase that was lined with stuffed animals and they were what I played with almost every day. I still have about 20 of them that I kept that I hope to give to LO when she's a little older.

    Salvation Army or other charitable group. There are lots of kids out there who would LOVE to have a stuffed animal.  I once saw a little girl hug toilet paper...yes toilet paper, because she had none.

    I know. I am hoping to find a good cause for them,sorry if my original post did not convey that!

    Donate to a children's hospital, or even some police stations and fire departments take donations to give out to children who have been involved in a trauma or accident.

    I put 6 trash bags full up on freecycle and a lady took them all.  She was using them as prizes at a church carnival.

    It will only get worse as they get older. My 3 year old sleeps with at least 6 in her bed at all times and we have so many storage cubes filled with them and then a HUGE storage tub filled with them too. I also cringe anytime she gets one as a gift! I say donate or keep tags on and regift!

    Seriously donate them before LO gets old enough to get attached. Look into places that give toys to needy children over the holidays.

    I would pick out your favourites and donate the rest. Hospitals are a good idea, as well as women's crisis shelters.
