Two of the same toy?

[playfelt]

I don't rotate at all really. My storage shelves are actually on the wall above where they play and we can switch out what is on the play level as desired but something goes back. Things like blocks, trucks, cars, animals, barn, etc stay out all the time because they appeal to the widest age groups. Toddlers don't get castle and just stuff animals and cars in it so it is up and comes down if an older child asks for it. That way the castle figures are available when needed.

The things I do rotate are more the infant/toddler things such as having several types of stacking toys or sorting toys but only having two down on the play level. Again if they all seem to want to do that activity it is easy to reach up and get another one or to switch out a toy that no one has touched in awhile or I can set out the toys that meet the goal I want to teach such as pushing buttons, or turning a knob.

Check out the pictures on my website to see what I mean - this has worked great for us. The shelving is from home depot. The upper shelves are 12 or 16 inches and the bottom shelf is 24" deep and makes a great play surface. www.sharonshomedaycare.yolasite.com
