Each December I spend a few days going through the kids' toys. This is a project best done while they're at school, because some toys will end up disappearing. This is when I get rid of all the little crappy toys they get in Happy Meals and from the treasure box at school (and send them to school to be added back into the treasure box). And this is the time that those toys that they haven't played with in years get donated as well. Of course, if they notice that things are being given away, suddenly those items become their most favorite toy, played with for a day or two before being tossed aside again. It's also a time to get everything reorganized and back into the appropriate bins. This year, since the girls have become such good readers, I finally added labels to the bins. When Olivia noticed, she actually clapped her hands and exclaimed "this is awesome! Now we know where to put everything!" My sentiments exactly.
