Free Tidy Day Kit
Too many toys and not enough room? A Tidy Day turns decluttering into something kids feel proud of.
This free printable kit, based on my picture book Benjamin Tidies Up, walks your family through it: a grown-up guide, a kid checklist, sorting signs, a note-to-my-toy page, and a Big Heart Award to celebrate.
The Book Behind the Kit
The kit is the activity. The book is what makes kids want to do it.
Benjamin is a little golden dog with big pointy ears, a tail that wags like a happy flag, and a toy box that overflows. One sunny morning he trips over a toy train and wonders: maybe I have… too much stuff?
So Mama introduces him to a Tidy Day, a day to look at everything you own, keep what you truly love, and pass along what might make someone else smile. But Benjamin has the worry every child has: "What if I love all my toys?"
Mama's answer is the heart of this book: "Loving something doesn't mean you have to keep it forever. Some things are just meant to be part of our journey, not the whole ride."
By the end of his first Tidy Day, Benjamin's heart feels fuller, not smaller.
Written by a Professional Organizer
As a professional organizer, Sabrina has had the privilege of stepping into many homes and stories. Time and again, she has witnessed how the things we own can either support our well-being, or quietly weigh us down. What starts as a collection of meaningful items can slowly become a source of stress, guilt, or overwhelm.
Benjamin Tidies Up is a warm, reassuring story that helps children (and the grown-ups who love them) understand that it’s fun to share cherished belongings with others. Reading this book with your little one will spark meaningful conversations and nurture healthy habits that will grow with them.
