Toys

A topic close to my heart because I don't believe in going overboard

Eve, they do fight a lot now over toys but I still say to them, "you are blessed to have a twin because you'll learn to share early!"

So far it's not working but we persevere.

My kids like anything that's not toys - nail polish, cell phone, remotes, boxes, wrapping paper, pasta in a tupperware, tupperwares (not real ones, cheapo plastic) and of course, books.

I always buy two books if cheap, but then I buy different titles, like Christian books - Noah and Jonah, e.g.

I love only having one thing that both can use - less clutter!

And yes, Crazy Store has fantastic cheap stuff - we bought all the bath toys there

I dont know - I have quite a few of identical toys - the R10 cars from cna have been such a hit.

I just dont have the energy to separate them all the time. so if I can just hand over the identical one to the calmer boy we are all happy.

I also think they are too small to understand sharing. Obviously the big expensive toys we only have one of. but the cheapies I buy exactly the same.

Kerry, I will go look for those cars.

Maybe it's my kids but you can give them identical things in the same colour (I bought two of the SAME books) and they still want what the other has. It is exhausting.

Sometimes I separate them, sometimes I leave them to "fight it out"
