Dear Marianne:

We have tons of toys in our house. How can I organize them so my kids get the most play value from them?

Erin, Pittsburgh, Mom of Katie (9), Lizzie (8) Mary (6) Ben and Jacob (4)
The best way to get the most play value is to organize them so that they ARE played with. For example, board games are fun but you really need to have them in sight as a reminder to play oftern. Stack boxes by age groups on a shelf in a room that will encourage social play. Consider the kitchen and family room. Keep them in the box and neatly tape all 4 corners on both the top and bottom of the box. This will help to reinforce the box after multiple uses.

Magnetic Paint
Kling Magnetics



$19.95

This paint is an acrylic, water-based paint with iron filings added so that magnets can stick to the wall! Most importantly, it is non-toxic and does not contain lead. (Lead in paints is very dangerous to young children)

With three steps to follow, once applied, the area is turned into a surface for magnets, progress charts or a display for artwork. The kit includes a pint of paint, roller and paint tray and covers 12.5 square feet with two coats.
