What is the procedure for minimizing the clutter without limiting the child from a wide variety of toys for his stimulation needs?

Put the toys into those huge storage totes if you have room in that storage room on the porch/ patio like all apartment buildings have you can store some there or some in the hallway closet in the same huge totes to keep the toy cluster down in the living room. And just label the totes so when you are looking for something you will know where it's at.

First of all kids dont need 50 different toys They can only play with one at a time.
I used to leave 10 of rhiana's favorite toys in the box , Put the rest in storage then after a month or so replace those 10 with 10 others Little ones forget (ouhgta sight oughta mind) She thought they were new toys. Clutter issues resolved.......
Of course the older they get
the harder this solution is to pull off!

A toy box. At the end of the day when the child is done playing, it's clean up time. Keep the number of toys down to only what the child is actually playing with. If you have some that the child doesn't like or has outgrown, give them away or sell them. However you can get them out of the house.
Good luck.

Good Luck!
It is difficult if not impossible to minimize the clutter. Maybe, you should try to minimize the area where clutter is allowed to accumulate, such as choosing one area of the house where toys are allowed to lay out without being actively played with by one or more kids.

Limit the number of toys, but not the versatility of them. A good toy can perform many functions and be used in a variety of games and situations.
Also avoid toys with lots and lots of pieces, like Legos, unless your child can manage to put the pieces away when the toy is not being played with.

Every time you get a new toy, pick an old toy to get rid of. This has helped us to stop accumulating so many toys.

Just limit them to one room! That's what I do. My son is 14 months old and I limit his stuff only to the living room. That way I can at least escpe to other rooms. Saves your sanity!

Well does your child play with all of his toys? If he dosn't ask the child if he wants it anymore. If he says no do whatever you want with it... if he says yes leave it.
