Do your children play with all of their toys? Mine don’t. Master R likes to play sport outside, read on his iPad and play Minecraft and FIFA on the Xbox. He sometimes indulges in LEGO or craft activities. Miss N enjoys craft, reading and anything sporty. She loves board games and music. I’ve realised that they don’t need anything more. They have everything they need.
This Christmas I am doing away with toys. I’m keeping things simple and will be embracing the rule of 3: Something to Wear, Something to Read and Something to Experience. I’m even thinking of extending this thought to the presents I gift the children in our extended circle. Experience is priceless, right?

My kids are older now but when they were younger they would have loved any of these!
Thanks so much for linking up x
I definitely embrace the idea of less toys and more experiences. We have done one toy each for our girls, something they really really wanted not just a passing fancy, a few things they need, read and wear and for experience we are doing an annual pass to currumbin wildlife sanctuary.
