[quote=Anonymous]I found your "1960s 2600 sq ft house with five of us" hilarious. That said, I'm sure you know the favorite toys your kids have. Put the rest in the basement and keep two or three each upstairs. If they want to get a new toy they trade it for one in the basement. This helps them learn to make choices and keep the crap out if sight. You may find you can get rid of a lot of toys. I did this with my 5 y.o DS and he has literally been playing with jenga blocks, magna tiles and a small space kit since before Christmas. I have read that having so many toys to choose from overwhelms kids as much as the clutter overwhelms adults. [/quote]
