[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have four kids and not a ton of toys.  Each kid has two shelves of books, there's an arts and crafts shelf they all share, and then each kid has no more than three stuffed animals.

We do NOT have a ton of dinosaurs or a ton of MLPs or anything.  If we have a few of something that's small, they ALL have to fit in the baskets on shelves.

So sometimes it looks like we have a lot of toys because there are four kids, but each kid really only has two bookshelves worth of toys and two bookshelves worth of books.

We spoke with the grandparents about experience gifts, or books as gifts, rather than tons of plastic stuff and they were on board (Thank goodness!).[/quote]

Op here. Our 3 kids have bedroom with toy, toys in family room in main level and then the entire basement is basically their playroom.  I would love to have each kid have a shelf of books and toys for each kid.   We also have a ton of books.[/quote]

Oh, I see. I think our house is smaller.  The three girls share and the boy has his own. We don't have a basement.  And unless you're actively playing with something it can't be in the living room.  We are just very, very firm about bringing things into the house and letting them be absorbed into their rooms.  [/quote]
