Here Be Toys

Our home has many toys and games. The children are blessed to have two parents, five grandparents, and four great-grandparents all of whom have contributed toys and games to our home. We have children from one year to eight years, so we have infant toys, toddler toys, preschool toys, and older children toys. Soon we will give away the infant toys. In just a few years the preschool toys will find new homes. I wanted to record what our home is like at this stage in our family life.  

The main floor family room contains the majority of the children's toys, games and puzzles because the main floor is where they spend most of their waking hours. We have a wall of shelving units half of which are open and half of which contain bins. The bins contain such treasures as small balls, big balls, Little People toys, dinosaurs, stuffed animals, dolls, vehicles, musical instruments, and so on. The open shelves are filled with games, puzzles, and larger toys that don't fit well in the bins.

The back wall of the family room has built in book shelves and cupboards. The cupboards are filled with...can you guess?... toys and games. 

There is a Nilo table which has two bins under it filled with construction toys (Magformers, Zoobs, and Citiblocs). 

Not photographed are Lincoln and Evan's ride on cars. The cars are currently found on the main floor (sometimes they are stored downstairs) because they are quite popular right now with the two little ones. Vroom! Vroom!
