How to Pack Soft Toys for Shipping?

Here is how you can pack toys before moving out:

1. The first step is sorting and organising the toys. Separate the toys that are no longer needed or have worn out. I recommend donating them. 

2. Now, with the toys that are to be moved, make a second filtering process. In this, separate fragile toys from the lot. Then, heavy ones from the light ones and the ones that come in a box of their own from the rest. 

3. Categorising the toys will help in proper packing. Pack fragile items by first wrapping them in bubble wrap. You can use multiple layers of wrapping if needed.

4. Store the fragile toys in small boxes to avoid overstuffing and damage. 

5. Pack the heavy toys in small boxes as well. For soft toys and light-weighted toys, wrap them up and then store them together in a big box. 

6. For toys like puzzles that come in a box, first tape the pieces together and then pack the entire box in wrapping paper, later placing the box.

Hey! We recently moved to Chennai after my promotion. We have a 5 year old boy, and he has a huge collection of toys. So, we decided to learn how to pack toys for moving to make the overall movement easier for us. Let me show you how you too can do the same.

What is the Method for Packing Toys for Moving?

1. Start by decluttering the toys. If there are toys that you can donate, then do so. This will not only be a good gesture from your side, but the other children will benefit from it.

2. Now, start arranging your toys by size and whether they are fragile or not. It is best to pack toys which are equal in size together. 

3. For fragile toys, use bubble wrap to secure the toys while packing and moving. 

4. If you have a lot of stuffed toys like we did, put all of them in a bin liner and tie it well. Place the bag in a box to avoid the toys from getting in contact with moisture.

5. If there is any space left in the box, fill it with packaging material to further safeguard the toys. You can use old newspapers, bubble wrap, and filter papers for this.

6. Seal the box and label it well. Make sure you mark the box with fragile toys as fragile. Write the categories of toys to unpack the items later on with ease. 

7. You can then transport the boxes to your new place.
