⚠ Safety · Stay nearby
No climbing to reach high shelves. The grown-up does high places.
Stop if:
- Your child is tired — rescue ten and call it done
Easier
Rescue only the soft toys.
Harder
Sort as you go: cars here, animals there.
Only 5 minutes?
Rescue ten toys.
Why it matters: Tidying with a game turns a chore into a skill your child owns.
Clean-up: This is the clean-up!
