You might be right with that one – he’s not made a big fuss about having the lego back (or not to me anyways) despite it being one of his most favourite toys.

if there is too much out, you can’t see it all, so it has no appeal. In a few weeks/months swap a few things around again, keeping the hidden stuff in crates works, it is like having new toys every few months and saves buying anything new. Floor stays tidier even in no one tidies, there is just less stuff )

Funnily enough, the boy’s paid a lot of attention to every other toy that had been pushed aside in favour of the lego. Maybe this could be a good thing.
I still refuse to tidy for him though – I guess he’s got to learn sometime and the sooner the better!

Mum kept a lot of our old lego so he’s got something to play with when we go over there. The mother in law got tons which has mostly made its way over to ours.
When we were little, we ended up with all mum’s cousins’ lego too. That stuff will last forever!

I hate asking the boys to clean up. Because I know I am going to end up yelling. One time we did actually box up a bunch of stuff that they weren’t tidying up, and told them we were throwing it out. It’s been in the basement ever since. No one has asked for it. Tactic completely failed. Clean up time makes me grrrrrrrr. Easier just to do it myself.

We had hours of fun with Lego.
We also had the threat of losing stuff if we didn’t tidy up.

I loved Lego as a child. Amazing to think it’s still just as popular today.
