    I felt that sigh when Birdie was drinking out of your water bottle.
    It feels like we have 9 water bottles for my kids all over and they go and find mine. Lol

    • @MiriamCamilla
      @MiriamCamilla Před 15 dny +2

      I feel like it is rule and logic of being a child:
      mama’s water probably tastes nicer, and even if not, let’s have a sippy to test if it is so.

    I have a TON of MegaBloks, and I keep them in plastic 3-drawer containers. I have three of those, and I separate them mostly by color, but i also like to keep sets together. Red + fire engine set. Orange + Alpahbet Train. Yellow + Construction Set. Green + Recycling Truck. Blues (2 shades). Pinks and Purples. Neutrals. One drawer for unopened sets. One drawer is empty. I can pull out just one container (3 drawers) or slide out just one drawer very easily, and they have wheels, so I can move them around. I don't love buying plastic, but I do love that you can see through the drawers, and I love that theyre light enough for the kids to move around.

  • @Ripplesinthewaters
    @Ripplesinthewaters Před 15 dny +14

    We have two kids and when they were little, we did use a color system for certain things. My daughter liked blue and my son liked red. Toothbrushes, socks, cups and such were color coded. They shared a room until she was 13. We used bead necklaces to put on their closet, where they could change in privacy. Color coding works well, even with only two kids.

    Maybe a rolling cart with three good sized compartments would be good for the duplos. You can separate the animal, food, and building blocks from each other.

  • @kayleeadams8736
    @kayleeadams8736 Před 6 dny

    With how much all the kiddos love Lego, investing in some Lego tables might be a good idea! We got one for our 6yo and it’s great! A big surface on top to build on, and so much storage inside!

  • @annfraser6655
    @annfraser6655 Před 14 dny +1

    I used to work in a care home. We used one colour per resident. We used it for sheets and towels. Then if they had any clothes that would get mixed up we just sewed a piece of the right colour cotton in the label. It made life easier for everyone.

  • @aprilsmithswe
    @aprilsmithswe Před 14 dny +4

    We kept our duplo toys and our legos wrapped in fitted sheets-I know it sounds weird but it keeps them all together and it is easy to move them! Just a thought!

  • @itisniggy
    @itisniggy Před 14 dny +2

    Hi! We sort our Lego and also Doublo by color. Just in see through ikea boxes. If they aren't see through or when we use baskets, we take a photo of one brick and put it laminated on the basket, so it's easy to find the color you want, and easy clean up. Just matching the bricks to the photos. Greetings from Germany ❤

    @irispostema Před 13 dny +1

    For duplo you could use one (or two) of those rugs with a draw string at the edge. Not only is clean up so much easier but the kids dont have to dig as much so its a little quieter than boxes.

  • @fh4595
    @fh4595 Před 7 dny

    For the LEGO DUPLO:
    We had a table with duplo plates on them (just taped them together on the bottom of the plates and put them on the table)
    They always preferred building on plates.
    And used the ikea trofast with the big bins for storage.

    We keep duplo in IKEA Stuva. It is great because we have it in the low ones and they pull out and can see it all without needing to dump out boxes. Inside the drawers I have a few smaller clear storage tubs with some of the pieces/sets sorted for easy finding. I’d repurpose something you have.

    I've been watching you forever. I've been wanting to ask, but if it's too personal I understand. Is your toy line your main income? I'm just wondering. You always have the children nicely dressed and well fed. Healthy meals. You are wonderful parents.

  • @jennhartley2943
    @jennhartley2943 Před 15 dny +2

    I used to put numbers on the tops of my socks, it was easier to match, they wore out at the same time and I always knew which socks were mine.

  • @jankorebeka4997
    @jankorebeka4997 Před 14 dny

    For separating clothes, we had a very easy system. My mom just took them off the drying rack, put them on the table and everybody takes their own socks and underwear to their own wardrobe. In the shop everybody chooses what pattern/colour/style they want, so they always know whose stuff is this. Same for pants and tops. Kids always know better which clothes belong to who.😆 Obviously this method is more useful with bigger kids, but I think the big kids are definitely old enough for this. It also saves work for the parents

    • @kerriecu2
      @kerriecu2 Před 15 dny

      Great video again. I used to do the colour coding sock bottoms as well. Even the Bonds ones come with different colours. With the Duplo it’s difficult to sort and keep separate. Maybe continue the basket theme like on the shelves. Have one for vehicles, one for flat bases, one for people and a big one for just the blocks. You can make a label for the outside. Or get one of the IKEA shelf with drawer systems and label each drawer. I think it’s called Trofast, or KMart have similar for half the price. It would be easy for the littlies to sort and pack away, too. Just keep the big bins for storing when it’s time.

    Wait hold on... Where is that bear set at 9:00 from? My sister and I had the same ones when we were little. We're in our mid twenties now! Well not exactly the same, she had the girl bear and I had the boy bear and they were both in small individual boxes. I can't really see what all is in that big box that you have, but the pieces are definitely the exact same art and shapes!

    Your pronounciation of "Poäng" was flawless. My mom had the same chair, but in pleather, when I was born. 😊
    Concerning the Duplo Storage, I believe Ikea has a big wooden box with wheels in the kids' section, and also I think some of the "SAMLA" boxes have wheels.
    The "TROFAST" series has netted containers now, they could also be a good idea, because they don't collect so much dust and gunk in the bottom of the box because it falls through. 😊

    What about the ikea trofast system, use the larger size tubs and I think you can purchase lids too. You could also get tubs for Connectix too then rotate with the duplo.

    • @nicoleclarke2857
      @nicoleclarke2857 Před 14 dny

      That’s what we do, but the amount of duplo they have they would need several of those big tubs. We have a medium tub we put a Lego ‘set’ in and then use a small tub for people and animals so they can be found easier. Several big tubs might not be much easier then the tubs they have them in now.

    Oh no, the whale duplo 😂 we have it too, and it's face falls out all the time! The kiddos love prying it open by accident, they just open it too wide

    My 8 year old has big feet for his age, and my 6 year old has small feet, so they are about 4 years apart in shoe size. And then my Little Guy is 10 months old. So we have no problem differentiating the socks 😅

    For packing away and storing either duplo, Lego, cars, or wooden train tracks we used Play&Go playmats.
    These are circular playmats with a drawstring that turns the mat into a huge pouch. When the kids are done playing, just toss all the duplo onto the playmat, pull the drawstring and all the duplo is inside.
    Works even better if kids mainly play on the playmat. Then you only need to pull the drawstring at the end of the day and you’re done.
    It comes in many lovely colours and patterns, too.
