do you have toys in every room of the house

My son has a toybin in his corner of the living room. He also has some pillows over there, and he can look out the window, so he really likes to play there. The rest of his toys are supposed to be kept in his room in his toybox for the most part. He has a few trucks in the computer room, but he does a really good job about putting them back in the box when he's in here. He does sometimes have an issue with the toys in the living room, though. If I'm cooking, I put up the babygate and have him to play in the dining area, so I can still see him, but he can't burn himself on the stove. Lately he's taken to throwing his toys over the gate and yelling "Eromo!" (Geronimo, I think) Then after a while, he gets sad because he is a little neat freak child. He stands at the gate and yells for the dogs to clean up the toys because they are messy! lol

When my children were young I had the same problem. I finally put a very large (pretty) basket in each room. I taught the kids to put their toys into the nearest basket! That way, sometimes it would be a few days before they looked in a particular basket too, and then a 'forgotten' toy was suddenly like a 'new' one again! Ha! It kept me and the kids from having to run all toys to the back of the house to their bedrooms. The baskets were very deep and very pretty...so as to not distract from the room's decor. I found them at craft stores and other places.

No we don't have toys in every room of our house.Only my and my sister's rooms have toys almost at evry nook and corner.It amkes our rooms look cheerful.LoL.:)

I have two kids, so I know what it's like. Some say my house looks like a daycare with all the toys. What I do is make them keep their toys in the bedroom and only the bedroom. But I also have an area set up in my living room for toys. I keep some toys in the living room for the reason being that I spend most of the time in the living room and my kids also spend time in the living room more then any other room. They go back and forth between the living room and their rooms. My 4 year old will sometimes come out with her bedroom toys and most of the time, I give her a look and then she knows that bedroom toys belong in the bedroom and if she wants to be out in the living room, then she can pick a toy in the living room to play with. The only problem with keeping the toys in the living room is at the end of the day it's not just the rooms that we have to clean up. My daughter is 4, so she pretty much cleans her mess up, but my son is 16 months and he trys, but I always end up cleaning his mess up. LOL. Why don't you just work with her on it. Maybe buy a really cute/nice looking toy box or make one for the living room and just keep a few toys in it and let her know that those are for the front room area and when she is done with them, she can pick them up and then move to the bedroom if she wants another toy, but explain to her that those toys belong there and only there. I know sometimes kids like to bring toys out and play with them all over, sometimes my daughter will set up all her dolls in each room and even in the bathrooms. I think its their imagination and it's good for them, but sometimes we have to remind them that certain toys belong in certain areas. Some kids get bored with only having toys in their room. I learned that with my daughter. So now with my son, we just have a little area in the living room and it works good. SOmetimes I still have to remind my daugter, but I guess that is a 4 year old for you.

Well i think you should maybe tell her not to take her toys all around the house or if ur wit children freedom then you better fit a toy box or maybe a small chest put up in every room it would really save time cleanin up. Or take her favourite toys and them in her room and remove all others and tell her that she will get new toys only if she plays wid and doesn't mess the rooms will really help you lessen your chores and do something constructiv

Yes, but it is organized just displayed in a cabinet, but on our living room lots of toys you can see, it comes to the point that you cannot pass anymore because my son plays in their and when he's playing all toys are in formation and he'll be upset to you when you incidentally displace it, my son is 5yrs old, maybe we still have more patience in them beside childhood days is not a lifetime when they get older they wont play that toy anymore...

At one point I did, but I have managed to keep the kids toys in their room and some in the family room.But of course that doesn't mean that my daughters toys don't find there way into the bathroom, my bedroom, and the kitchen,lol. But I try :)

I have got seperate kids room where i have kept all the toys for kids.

My son have a drawer for his toys and I always remind him to put his toys inside the drawer before he goes to sleep. Sometimes he leaves some of his toys in a corner of our living room, though most of the times I don't let him leave the toys lying around the house. I tell him that if somebody accidentally steps on hid toys they will break, so he immediately picks them up.

Yep, we have toys in every room in the house and they are not for children but for our puppy. She just loves to play and so long as she has her toys to chew she doesn't touch the furniture. haha Here's a piccy of Ruby in her 'play pen' ...

My son is 12. When he was younger he kept most of his toys in his bedroom and a few downstairs in the lounge. Nowadays he is more into his computer, play station, chess, model making projects and things about his favourite subject (history) than toys. I have just had a baby and am going to try not to make the mistake of buying too many toys. I am hoping to have 30 toys for him kept in three different boxes. It will be nice if he keeps the boxes tidy. If he wants more toys hen he must get rid of some before the new ones are bought. Things like a train set will be considered one toy for this. My sister's children have lots and lots of toys. For example, my oldest nephew has more than one hundred action men. They cause a great deal of mess with all the toys and it is easy to fall over them. I think they should have a clutter clearing session. Each of the children should put their toys in the boxes upstairs. It would be relaxing for my sister and her husband if the lounge was kept free of toys. This might be difficult as my neice is still a baby but I am sure the other children could mange this.

We have two grandchildren that are here visiting quit often. Actually one comes everyday while her mom is at nursing school for a one year course. My house does look like I have had the children. Our living room for weeks at a time has to big items, a building frame thing for building tunnels and houses or what ever and the other is a blow up jumping room. There is no room to walk around in that room. The family room is full of building blocks, cars, dolls, puzzels, dolls, and toys. I am not as good as their parents about getting them to clean up after themselves. Although they are 3 and 2 years old. I know I should be better at it as I was very disciplined about teaching my own children to pick up their toys when they were younger. I guess I should start doing that.

I don't have toys in my room when I was a little girl. First, my family is very poor, my parents can't buy such expensive toys for me. Second, I dont like toys. When I got a toy, I will be interested in it for only 1 hour, then I will leave it in my box. But now I think toys are good for little children , they can help children to know more about the world, and develop their brains. So if I had a baby, I would buy toys for him/her.

I have toys all over the place. Unfortunately, they are mine. I guess I will always be a kid at heart. The only that really changes is I have gone from Ninja Turles action figures to misc. computer parts and accessories. My much loved girlfriend made me throw out my useless harddrives yesterday =(

yes i have toys in every part of my house. I love toys very much. So i decorate my house compltely with toys. Kids would love coming to my home.

When my daughter was little there were toys in just about every room of my home plus my car. There was always a bag in the car full of toys and baby supplies at all times. I did not alow toys in my kitchen though. I was always afraid of accidents in there. I was the one who had to clean up the mess. I would tell her that any toy found out of the toybox would be given away and sometimes this worked. Maybe a day. Some times I would take the toys she left laying around and put them up. Then in a few days I would get them out and it was like she got a new toy. Kids are not easy but they are worth the trouble.

lol, when my kids were younger, there were toys everywhere and I got so tired of constantly picking them up. Now they're a little bit older, they do tend to keep them in their bedrooms. If they have friends over, they do sometimes play games in the living room, but they always put their things away before getting something else out. It was something that I drummed into them as soon as possible, and they did pick it up easily enough. I do sometimes find that when I walk into their rooms that toys are everywhere and that it looks like a bomb has hit, but I don't mind it so much. It's better than having toys everywhere else.

I have toys almost everywhere, the bedrooms, the kitchen, the bathroom, even the laundry room, but I try to keep the living room toy free. The kids know that and will ask if they can bring a toy into the living room to play, and I always say sure, as long as you put it away when your done. And they do.....now if I can only get them to put the rest of he toys away! LOL

My kids toys is in their room, some are kept in a shelves and some are in a box, under their bed so that any time they need it or after they used it, it will be easy for them to took it or kept it back into the toys box that i have made to them. Your son is still young, you can still teach him how to be industriouse esp of his personal belongings, next time he still do that, scare him --- let him see you that your goin to trash his/her toys let him know that your not joking wait til he/she sleep then bring back the toys where ur kids can easily find it - he wont ask any thing about that toys, but still explain to them clearly, little by little why and how --- then ofcors let them know how u really love them GodBless!!!
