My son's room is separate from the playroom. He does have some toys in his bedroom, but it is mostly the space where he does his drawing.

He does have magnatiles and some cars in his room. Books are in the living room as well as bedroom.

We only have books in the bedroom. Plus whatever stuffed animals he takes to bed. His room is just for sleeping, we don't spend any time in there when he's awake.

I think if you have enough storage in the playroom and the expectation that all toys live there, you won't have as much of a problem. Although we also don't let DS go up and down the stairs by himself, so if he were to try and take a toy up there we could just tell him to put it back.

A few random and quiet toys I don't mind them using during nap/quiet time stay in their rooms. The rest are in the playroom. There are two shelves of books in the playroom, but most of their books are in their own rooms where they have little reading nooks and rockers.

In our old apartment we had a large room that we used as my office/guest room/play room. All of the toys went there. My son only had his teddy and some books in his room. We also moved before he turned 3, so we might have put some toys in his room had we stayed in that apartment. I am a neat freak so I personally liked having all the toys in one place and being able to shut the door.

There are a few learning puzzles (ABC, 123) in her room, as well as stuffed animals. Everything else goes in the playroom.

books, stuffed animals/doll babies, dress up clothes, play vanity, table and chairs, a couple of the peg board puzzles....
anything I wouldn't care if she played with independently if she woke up early

downstairs - has the bulk of her toys, plus the stuff she would need parental help with (arts and crafts) those a put up high and she needs to ask to play them.

FYI she turned three in sept

Most of DS's toys are in the playroom. In his bedroom, he has books, his stuffed animals, and a few small toys in a basket.

We have a dedicated playroom upstairs and most of the toys live there. We do have some toys in the family room downstairs (smaller things that live in cabinets). We only keep stuffed animals (including doll cribs) and books in their rooms.

We don't keep many toys in DD's room. She has some blocks, a bin of stuffed animals, and lots of books, but that's about it. As she gets older I'm sure we'll keep more in there (she's 2 1/2), but for now I like that she associates the room mostly with sleep.
