[quote=Anonymous]Unless a toy cost $100+, I don't make any non safety-related rules for how my kids can use it. I would let the kid have whatever fairly inexpensive sets he seems interested in, and put them together to the best of his ability or mess around and create something from scratch depending on what he wants to do. I tend to be pretty hands-off and encourage free play with few defined rules (other than polite manners and sensible safety precautions). My youngest DD is 5 years old and I mostly expect her to keep her own toys picked up, but I have shown her how and created a fairly easy to organize play area with bins and stuff she can use herself, and I sometimes supervise the tidying process to keep her on track and prevent her from getting overwhelmed by a huge mess.[/quote]
