What if broken toys actually belong in your playroom? 🎠 Have you ever picked up a broken toy in your playroom and wondered:

Do I throw this away… or keep it?

It’s a common question—especially when more toys start to wear down or fall apart.

But what if broken toys actually belong in your playroom?

I want to offer you a different way of seeing them:

✨ Broken toys can be meaningful.

To a child, a toy isn’t just a toy. It can become a reflection of their inner world.

And there are some children who are naturally drawn to the toy that’s imperfect—the car missing a wheel, the doll that’s worn, the airplane with the bent wing.

And often, those toys reflect something deeper.

Feelings like:

🔹 “I’m not good enough”

🔹 “Something is wrong with me”

🔹 “Am I broken?”

🔹 “Will I be thrown away?”

And in the safety of the playroom, those feelings can be explored gently at the child's pace and without needing words.

That’s the power of broken toys.

But there’s also an important balance.

✨ Not everything should be broken.

If every toy is damaged, we lose the opportunity for a child to experience something whole… something complete.

So it’s not about keeping everything—or throwing everything away.

It’s about being intentional.

When you find a broken toy, pause and ask:

Could this still serve a purpose?

Could it help a child express something they’re holding inside?

Because sometimes, that imperfect toy is exactly what’s needed.

✨ Broken toys still have value.
✨ They are still worthy.

And in many ways, they help children feel that they are, too.

So maybe… keep a few.

Much love on the journey
