Maybe some kind of organizer like that would work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-organized-with-their-small-toys-shopkins-etc#post-2710631 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 09:28:51 +0000 winniebee 2710631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he's good about tsum tsum which are small like Shopkins. We have clear plastic tackle boxes for them and he has lost very few. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-organized-with-their-small-toys-shopkins-etc#post-2710573 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 08:04:48 +0000 twodoghouse 2710573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter (almost 3) is extremely particular about her playmobil. She has a few sets that came with tiny little pieces (like the Zoo set has postcards and juice boxes in its gift shop) and she knows if any are missing. She's very careful about playing with them, then putting them away again. </p> <p>On the other hand, my son (also almost 3) is basically a Playmobil Godzilla. He just wants to step all over the scenes his sis has set up, smash the animals together, etc. so pieces going flying. It's the source of almost all their fighting right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-organized-with-their-small-toys-shopkins-etc#post-2710561 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 07:43:51 +0000 fancyfunction 2710561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is. We bought a plastic bin for her Shopkins and she knows she has to keep them in there, clean up when she's done with them and that she can't play with them around her baby brother. She's 4 and it's been working out well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-organized-with-their-small-toys-shopkins-etc#post-2710544 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 07:21:10 +0000 bhbee 2710544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's pretty good if things have a place from the start. All her shopkins are in a metal small lunchbox she got as a party favor once. Legos have Tupperware. But it's easy to forget to put them away before brother gets them so I have to be paying attention too. She hates him touching her little stuff though so if I do remind her she gets right on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-organized-with-their-small-toys-shopkins-etc#post-2710529 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 04:10:22 +0000 sunnyday 2710529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were strict on them having "a place" from the start and it helps her covet them (lol). So yes, she has a dollar store box they live in and she's really good at keeping them in there and then hiding the box from her little bro. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-organized-with-their-small-toys-shopkins-etc#post-2710526 Wed, 15 Mar 2017 02:32:48 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2710526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, no. She has quite a bit of small and tiny toys and loves to play with all of them together. I put away the tiniest pieces (microscopic Sylvanian food items), but small Lego Friends pieces (tiny crowns, glasses, cherries, utensils) are just as bad. Her Shopkins plays with the Legos ... all scattered on the floor :meh: and "they're her creation" so I can't just put them away without a fuss :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-organized-with-their-small-toys-shopkins-etc#post-2710510 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 23:20:39 +0000 JennyD 2710510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! Um no. Not so good at it. </p> <p>She's good when she takes them to someone else's house. My mother in law's dogs will chew tiny toys so she's better at picking them up there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-organized-with-their-small-toys-shopkins-etc#post-2710481 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 22:25:05 +0000 PinkElephant 2710481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO collects some kind of small toy....is she or he good at keeping them organized? Or are you constantly searching for/tidying up tiny bits and pieces? </p> <p>I'm specifically thinking of Shopkins (they've just come onto my almost 5 year old DD's radar - a girl in her class gave her a shopkins pencil topper bc she couldn't believe DD didn't have any, haha), but this could apply to anything small your LO has a ton of like Littlest Pet Shop, cars, etc.</p> <p>I'm HOPING that looking after a collection could be a good way to teach a little responsibility for her own things and motivate her to be tidy (so they don't get lost or her sister doesn't swipe them)...but with a nearly mobile baby, I'm also kind of nervous/don't want to have it be one more thing to nag her to clean up! But I keep reading blog posts about how organized/responsible these little kids are with their collections, and think she might enjoy curating one. </p>
