Would this apply to books as well?

It's incredible how much more creative kids become when they are given less. I'm a big fan of getting outside and finding natural elements to play with (dirt, sticks, water, sand!). Thank you for sharing!

I raised my kids with toy rotation. They loved getting “new” toys every month! Sometimes they mourned their favorites being stashed but then rejoiced when they saw them again! My friend is now doing this with her pets’ toys!

So true! I recommend rotating toys, about 4 at a time. There’ll be more engagement and less over-stimulation. Great advice!
