At this point I'm thinking ANY toys are too many to have out!! It's not just the toddler dump-its, it's the 3-4 yo group that'll be walking along and just drop whatever they're playing to go onto the next thing. I am constantly asking that they go back, pick up what they're no longer playing with and put it back where it belongs. I have 2 cute little walk along type toddler toys. The bigger kids reel through the house with them, so I'm constantly taking those toys out of play because the younger ones never get to play with them anyways.
When they do pick up, things never go back where they started out from. They're dumped wherever it's convenient.
I am SO sick of toys. I seriously feel like a toy scrooge. I have very little storage space to rotate very many out. I feel like a big grump who is always harping on the 3-4 yos to pick up after themselves. So sick of being the toy police.
Is it that hard to do????
