Sellers often have the notion that they must hide away all their kids’ stuff when selling their house. The good news is, this is absolutely unnecessary in my opinion - especially if young families are part of the target market for the sale! Prospective buyers with kids will like to see a usable play area for their kids! I do, however, feel it’s often necessary to scale down, quite drastically, on what we have out around the house. Over the years we tend to collect more toys than any kid would ever need (sound familiar?) and kids toys, more than anything, tend to overrun our daily living spaces. My most common recommendation when it comes to kids ‘stuff’ (toys, craft tables, etc) is to isolate and display it in a designated space... a section of the basement rec room, kids’ bedrooms, or ideally, a playroom. Use decorative baskets or bins - they make everything look neat and tidy! And again, don’t forget to take this opportunity to pack away or donate a majority of the small things that can be seen as clutter and take the focus away from what we’re selling - the house!
