Hey Tennille! I just wrote an entire response, and our internet blinked out. we’ve been having serious issues with that-anyway, I would have to ask, first, how old are your kids? because mine used to be like that, and I still have to monitor, simply because they constantly want to show me what they did, but I can sit at the table and work on my laptop while they go to town. ;} I think the own individual containers thing helps. Filled to the brim with versatile materials that you can switch out. stamps, sketchbooks, paint, play-doh, maze books with dry erase markers, etc. etc.

As far as their toys go, you may have tried this, but it worked for us: we switch out their toys. We put some in the attic, and then rotate them. It’s like christmas around here! I hope that helps!

I love the rock idea! That’s super cool. If we had rocks here, I would totally do that. We barely have trees. ;}

AMANDA! SO good to hear from you again! I take it everything is going well? You guys are in my prayers-and you just made my week. I would never think you were a stalker! Why else do I write these posts? ;} Bless you and your illegal hardware. I don’t know how I would survive without it! Be careful, and stay in touch! ;}

Hey Lindsey! Check the links in no. 2 above for a place to purchase! ;}
