What is a good children's play?

Childrens area to grow and play...?

• Do your toddlers have an area to play in or do they just bring toys wherever they go? I am a very clean and neat mom. I would not be able to stand my kids having toys in the living room, kitchen, dining room or office. My sister has a bin of toys sitting out in her kitchen, some more in the dining room and a whole lot just laying around in the living room...it looks messy and cheap. :) haha. She knows. :) I have a play area for my kids..I hate that play room. :) It is always a mess but the girls love it. It is right off of the kitchen and I believe it was meant to be the dining area but, it was so small. We thought about using it as an office but, we used it as a play room. The toys can just lay around and they have chairs and tables in there...coloring books and a TV (gated off...I monitor how much TV they can watch). I like them to be in there if they want to make a mess...they drift into there and make a space on the floor to lay with a blankie and a pillow and they watch a movie while I cook and clean. :) The baby will love the pink walls and girly furniture...I was lucky enough to have ALL girls. :) I don't let them have big or small toys in there bedrooms...it is a place to sleep and change diapers. :) not a place to play so what about you?

  My son has his own room, he will be 5 next week...and it is full of toys, my daughter also has her own room, she just turned 3. They also have a play room with a couch and tv in it...I don't really mind the mess but I don't like it either...I just think life is too short to be nagging them about not having a mess, they are kids and will do that...I also don't want to be the nagging mom that is always bitching and whining about a mess and then GOD forbid something happen to my kid and the last thing I did was scold them over a messy room...why complain when I am the one buying them their toys in the first place?
