Toy Rotation

Toy DrawersAs part of rearranging the loungeroom, I took the opportunity to sort out Bilby's toys. She's had a plastic drawer with a pile of various things in it, but there's really too many to see. When Puggle was the same age I had divided his toys into four sets and gave him a different set each week. It seemed an appropriate time to do the same for Bilby.

I pulled out a couple of Puggle's toys that had been put away once he outgrew them, emptied the set of drawers, and sorted the pile of Bilby toys. Each drawer has something to stack or insert, something soft, something hard and a ball (some things belong in more than one catagory).

Now, each week I'll replace the drawer under the TV cabinet with a new one so she'll have some variety.

I've also done the same for Puggle's games and puzzles.

It wil be interesting to see how it goes with Puggle able to access things himself. His toy rotation thing rather fell by the way side once he was able to open the drawers himself—and he loves to help Bilby! We don't have a lot of suitable storage, so although he can't reach his alternate things, he could open the drawers with Bilby's other toys if he chose. We'll see.
