Clean Nursery Toys Service Project

Cleaning nursery toys is a simple service project that helps children see that small acts of care matter. It gives them a practical way to bless younger children and families in the ward while learning to serve with a cheerful heart.

How To Run It

  1. Talk briefly about how clean toys help younger children feel safe, welcome, and cared for.
  2. Sort the group into small teams and assign each team a shelf, bin, or toy area.
  3. Give each team wipes or damp cloths and show them how to gently wipe toys, tables, and easy-to-reach surfaces.
  4. Let the children place the cleaned toys back into neat bins or on organized shelves.
  5. Finish with a short discussion about how quiet service can bless people they may never see.

Helpful Tips

  • Ask nursery leaders or the bishopric first so everyone is comfortable with the plan.
  • Use gentle cleaning supplies that are safe for toys and children.
  • Choose simple wiping and organizing jobs rather than anything that requires strong chemicals.
