Now is the time to go through the kids’ rooms to gather up all the misplaced game pieces and instructions. Print out the instructions from the internet while you can. Tape and repair the boxes and put the game pieces into ziploc bags. Sure, it’s bothersome and the kids may have outgrown them but you’ll be thankful when the time comes. Also, bag up those puzzles, too. 6” wide boards put up on the wall section behind doors makes for great shelves for books and takes up no space. That’s free entertainment you already have in the house.
When going through the kids’ rooms, and elsewhere around the house, don’t throw out their arts and crafts or other toys that could be repurposed for preps. Example - those old school backpacks can be used for bug out bags for those who can’t carry heavier loads.
