I have an age range from 1 year to 3 years but we do our crafting/colouring, etc with the children in their booster chairs so I can help them one at a time with the complicated crafts or let them paint a couple at a time so I can keep a close eye on the paintbrush. But all the children definitely make all the crafts so that they learn the process of gluing and all the rest. I even have puzzles and other things with more than one piece done at the dining room table in their boosters as well.

So in my toyroom it's all toys and as far as learning to share, I teach the children to tell the babies, Don't touch my toy please. I think it's good for them to learn to problem solve amongst themselves a bit but I'm right there in case the baby doesn't stop.
