[quote=Anonymous]I like this question, OP. I lived in a kind of formal, stuffy home that made me feel I only belonged in my bedroom and couldn't hang out anywhere else in the house. So  the following was a conscious decision to make our kids feel comfortable in and around our home.

We don't have a separate playroom; the kids play near us while DH and I are in the LR. The LR also has their toys organized in clear plastic bins; games stacked neatly; and activity books lining the shelves. Easy to grab something to play with it, easy to figure out where to put something back.

I wanted to make sure that our kids had access to art supplies, so they can create art any time they want. One shelf in the living room has organized cups of colored pencils, pens, markers, paint brushes, glue & glue sticks, scissors, etc. and another shelf has different kinds of paper.

We make sure to keep a fuzzy blanket by the sofa. And in the kitchen, colorful plastic cups and bowls are stacked within their reach, along with snacks in bins in the pantry. We keep stepstools in most rooms of the house.[/quote]
