This weekend Liesl and I sorted out all of her toys by type, use etc in big plastic boxes. Ex, she has all of her Barbies in a box, her plastic animals in a box, her farm ctr, her crayons and coloring books, etc, etc. I figured out that she would create less of a bomb and get less bored while she was playing and she would learn to put things away better. OMG it worked. She was putting them back when she was done with them within the evening. She wasnt getting bored and she was using all of her toys that had gotten mixed up and "lost". There was actually a puzzle book that she re-discovered because 3/4 of the pieces were missing until I re-organized. We are all really loving the organization and calm play that she has been having. Like her own little Barbie Zen garden.
Then... today I found this blog....through another blog that I absolutely love.

Totally agrees with me. I guess I had to come up with the theory first myself to implement my scheme.
I am looking forward to doing some of these crafts with Liesl this weekend. I have fallen in love with this woman's blog in the past couple of days and I yearn to stay home with my little punkin and play with our art supplies and garden all day. But alas, I will have to wait for the weekend....for now.
