I have a different opinion on the situation. I think 18-month olds are too young to have a longer attention span, and by their nature, they wander around and look at different toys and dump buckets. She can't really be expected to do anything different.

I think once the newness wears off, and once she grows up a little, that behavior will stop and she'll start playing with toys in a more intentional way. But the wandering and dumping that she's doing now is age-appropriate and how that age learns.

If an older kid was doing the same thing, I'd be more concerned, but not with an 18-month old.

Can you let go of the desire for clean and neat and just have the kids clean up a couple times a day?
