[quote=Anonymous]I would rotate toys religiously -- only allow a small number of things out at a time and keep the other things stored in a closet where your kids can't get to them (better yet if they don't know where it is so they don't ask about it all the time). When you bring out something new, you put something else away. Better than literally getting rid of stuff but maintains a less cluttered day-to-day lifestyle. I'd also consider bins, particularly the rolling ones like from IKEA. Shelves are wonderful, but bins or baskets also work. Defining areas a bit will also help. Perhaps the bulk of the toys stay in the new play area you're making. It's nice to have toys in other areas, too, but significantly limit them (like one puzzle on the dining room table or something). Make it a habit to pick up things after you use them and encourage your kids to get in this habit, too.[/quote]
