Do you use toy-rotation? :)

I want to!

I want to sort into options just so not ALL the toys are out. My dds have a lot of nice stuff. Wooden toys, kitchen, puzzles Etc etc. I need a toy rotation to help as they seem over whelmed by all the toys I think

Good idea, Miaow. I might try something like that.

One thing I picked up from DD's playgroup is to use those plastic zip files to keep all the wooden shape puzzles together. That's been a revelation since they're no longer all muddled up.

i used to find that when we had all the toys out DS would just sort of throw them about and not really play with anything. Now we just have a few out and I swap them round every saturday and he gets really excited about 'new toys'. I'm not too strict on it, If theres something he's been playing with loads in the week then i'll keep that out again, also if he specifically asks during the week to play with something thats not out then i'll get that out for him

Yes , and they are themed...... I am very anal.

I use pop up boxes with lids from The Works and bring out a different box each day which seems to work. One has Lego, one has barbies etc.

Yes. We also have a box of toys upstairs and one in the front room which I switch around.

I do need to encourage her to play with toys though, left to her own devices she just chews stuff!
