I think that's something my son would love, but I'm wondering if he's too young right now (almost 23 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800637 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 09:39:32 +0000 Boheme 1800637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, if he knows where it goes. He has certain toys that have a designated container and he puts them away for fun. I don't think he realizes it's helpful... I think he just likes throwing his blocks in a bucket! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800594 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 09:25:20 +0000 bushelandapeck 1800594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually ask him to help if he wants to move on to a different toy/activity but not always. I plan to start enforcing it soon, now that he's just about 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800583 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 09:17:06 +0000 mrsjyw 1800583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes he helps, sometimes he has no interest. We don't force it yet, (20 months). He is otherwise obsessed with cleaning though, sweeping, vacuuming, picking up trash, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800471 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:43:25 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1800471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet, but around 2 it will be a requirement. Right now i make him stop playing while i clean up so he can watch me. Sometimes he helps put things in a basket. Having clearly labeled places to put things is really helpful with the little ones. He is moving to a new room soon, and i am going to take pictures of his toys and use them to label his bins so that he starts seeing where things go. This is something we did in the toddler room i worked in and it made it really easy for the kids to know what was expected of them. By 2 he should be perfectly capable of putting limited toys away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800428 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:16:22 +0000 looch 1800428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually, but we have a dedicated playroom where he sets up his train tracks and what not...so mostly I let it stay as it is. It's easier than having to build those tracks again, that's for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800416 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:08:49 +0000 littlek 1800416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: so is B! He swept the garage the other day for "fun." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800241 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 22:00:15 +0000 NurseMommy 1800241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. And then throws them out again. And repeat. All day long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800236 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:54:40 +0000 Mama Bird 1800236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! He throws them in his playpen. And also throws all our stuff in there :) He thinks it's a game, but hey, whatever gets the house clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800232 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 21:52:11 +0000 autumnlove 1800232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800164 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 20:44:33 +0000 loveisstrange 1800164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We've started making her (sh'es 2). If she doesn't, it gets put up for a couple days and she can't play with it. She has caught on quickly... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800132 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 20:27:40 +0000 Boogs 1800132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually. We started a sticker chart with his chores and that's one of them and he loves getting his stickers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800111 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 20:10:53 +0000 septca 1800111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. My 18 mo is obsessed with cleaning up - she would rather clean up than play. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800088 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:57:11 +0000 shopaholic 1800088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I can't wait for the day that happens! She will put things away sometimes, when I repeatedly ask and show her to. But then immediately takes the item(s) out to play with again. *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1800072 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 19:42:49 +0000 sandy 1800072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shinymama: @littlek: same. When she was little she used to clean up for fun but at almost 3 she does it bc I tell her she needs to clean up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1799984 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 18:31:14 +0000 Silva 1799984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sometimes! she is only 15 months, but we sing a song and clean up toys every night after bath as part of our routine, and occasionally she decides to help. when she is older it will become more of an expectation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1799983 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 18:30:21 +0000 littlek 1799983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I make him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1799981 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 18:29:48 +0000 Smurfette 1799981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1799950 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 18:09:04 +0000 edelweiss 1799950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how old is your LO? mine is 18 months. sometimes he puts his toys away with my prodding, but it's more of an interesting thing to him--when he doesn't feel like doing it he doesn't. and once as he starts to think of it as a "chore", i'm sure all bets will be off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1799949 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 18:09:02 +0000 shinymama 1799949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. If he doesn't on his own I say "clean up, so we can ____" and he does it. There's been a handful of times when he doesn't want to and the threat of time out helps motivate him. {He's 22 months.} </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1799943 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 18:04:24 +0000 Dandelion 1799943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. He doesn't have a choice. Unless he rather I donate them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-put-their-toys-away#post-1799921 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 17:46:20 +0000 stargal 1799921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P sometimes will put his away but most of.the time, nope.I cannot wait til he is able to do it. </p>
