My daughters don’t like a cluttered, toy-strewn room. If I keep just a few toys out, they play with them so much better (longer periods of play, more creative with their play, sharing and playing with each other instead of bickering). I keep most of their toys in a locked cabinet out in the garage, and rotate through their collection. Sometimes they don’t even need real toys; they prefer wooden spoons and cardboard boxes!
