  that belongs to the kids. They have also become lazy about picking up so things end up piling up one thing on top of another in the
  
  play room. Playing with one thing at a time is obviously not an issue when you have more than one kid. Of course one of them wants
  
  to play with the Legos and one with Barbies so of course everything is out. When it comes to picking up I can usually get help the
  
  problem being where you put this stuff so that the next time they want to play with it they can get it out without removing
  
  everything.
  
  So this is how my quest into organizing the kids toys began. I decided it was best to start with a clean slate. After removing
  
  everything from the area I went out and bought the brightest yellow paint available. It was also necessary in our case to have a
  
  spot for both childrens things with in the same area so I bought block lettering spelling out each childs name. My goal was to split
  
  the space so that each child could claim a part of it as their own.
  
  I didnt want to break the bank buying all sorts of personalized kids toys shelving so what I did instead was to purchase cube
  
  shelving in for each of them. The cube shelving is great because it sits at about five feet. Just tall enough that the kids can
  
  reach using a step stool. Mainly the high areas of the shelves are used for the toys that are more decorative but can be played
  
  with. Such as stuffed animals, banks, books that I need to be there to read to them all the toys that are played with daily live
  
  lower on that childs personalized unit.
  
  My daughter unit is filled with canvas and wicker containers. She doesnt really need to see what it is to figure if she wants to
  
  play with it or not. She is the kid who will pick a basket down, play with its contents or move on to discover another basket
  
  without making a huge mess. Now my son would pick the basket, empty it out realize he did not want to play with it and move on to
  
  destroy another basket. This is why on his shelving unit I use only clear containers and picture labels. He is then able to look
  
  inside of the container see that what he wants is not in there and move on without wreaking havoc on the entire play room.
  
  I also found that loose Barbie shoes and accessories are better kept inside of plastic jars inside the tote. This makes it easier
  
  to find a pair of matching heals when Barbie wants a night out on the town without going through the entire box. My daughter would
  
  become so frustrated by not being able to find some special piece that she would abandon playing so using these smaller containers
  
  inside the main box has been so helpful.
  
  I have found that the creativity the kids have is now used playing instead of trying to find all the pieces to play. It is so great
  
  when I look in the play room and see kids actually playing instead of climbing through the mounds of toys littering the floor. fairtrade soft toy
