I don't allow toys, food or blankies here ever without exception. Like others said it creates so much drama and trouble.

BUT I do have blankets available here for them to play with at all times, because I have found blankets to be one of our most treasured "toys", for as long as I've done daycare. They can make picnics, beds for their dolls, hospital beds, forts etc etc. but they all have to share them since they are treated the same as any other daycare toy.
