How often should the toys be tidied away?
Every day. It goes on the list when you tell it there are children.
What it actually is, and what shifts it
A box per category and no lids beats one big box every time, because a toy only goes away as fast as the child can see where it lives. This is the one chore on the list somebody else can be taught to do.
Put it on a list that reminds you
“Tidy the toys away”, every day. Tick it when it is done and the next date is counted from that day, not from when it was due.
