[Dreamalittledream]

That's the problem I have right now - everything is dumped and scattered everywhere!

Do you not keep anything easily accessible to the kids then dreamalittledream? Is everything put away and you pull it out at your discretion?

I'm chuckling at "everything put away"....nope no playing here lol! I have, I would say about 40 toys that are out on a big shelf (these are the ones I rotate out weekly)...and yes, everything else I pull out 1 activity at a time. Makes for really fast tidy time & I really enjoy how they can take ne toy and use it for so many different things. I would love to be able to leave all the kitchen stuff out, for example, because they all love it so...but I would find the plastic food etc. everywhere (I have 2 busy little 1 year olds that wander off and hide things all the time. I also am really bad for changing the furniture around in our house...and it's not uncommon for the kids to wake up from nap to find the playroom completely changed around...it's like a whole new world.

I'm with you in changing everything around. My guys never know what the playroom is going to look like lol. They get up from nap and look around like 'what happened' lol
