Hey thanks for the link love!!!! And I'm enjoying your learning centers!! Thanks for posting these. I just cleaned out my sons closet on Saturday and pulled some of his old/outgrown "learning toys" out and put them into a bin - I'm gonna hide them in the attic and pull them back out in the fall for his little sister to do while I homeschool her big brother. I bet after not seeing the toys for 3 months they'll be like new and keep her very busy! Thanks for making me think this through and get organized!!!
You're a wise mom! We love rotating toys in/out of the attic to keep them new and full of inspiration. And to keep the playroom from getting crazily cluttered!
I've also had a few mommy friends that swap toys periodically. We each fill up a box of toys to share with the other family for a set period of time. It works really well, but I would only swap toys that you are willing to 'hold loosely'. Realize that you *might* not get it back, and it *might* not be in perfect shape. Make sure you are okay with those 'mights' before you agree to swap. If you find the right mom to swap with, you'll have double the toys with only half the mess!
I'm glad you're enjoying the learning centers - your encouragement means a lot!
