Toddler Spaces Part 1

So with the over abundance of new toys and gifts that Dax received for Christmas our house was in much need of some tender lovin care. So this past weekend I got hard at work and did some more work in both the living room and Dax's room. I rotate toys probably once a month but haven't been taking pictures each time (oops). But here we are today. Since this post is pretty picture heavy I'm only going to do one room tonight and the other room sometime in the near future
I wish I would have taken a before picture. This space in the living room was literally lined with toys from one end of the wall to another, just sitting on the ground. It was sad. Way sad. So after much love, introducing.... the revamped living room!

 Dax's entire place space! Looks much better than before!

 New shelves. Starting on the top of the shelf (left side) we have his wooden cars, abacus, train, wooden beads and stacking rings, ball basket, throwback phone, B-Links, food basket, homemade toys, basket of random things Dax has collected from throughout the house, and big dump truck.  The wooden box on the side of the shelf was a gift from my parents. It has different sorts of wooden toys inside and doubles as a chalkboard on one side!

 Dax's table set up with his nature basket, notepad, colored pencils, and wooden rocking horse like his :)

 This is Dax's random basket. Complete with things like a stethoscope, paper binders, chip clips, fake cell phones, and other completely random things.

 Ball basket.

 Cooking basket. Has a cake pan, spoons, and fake food in it.

 These cars are my favorite Target dollar section find EVER.

 Baby and boxes baskets :) Ideally this would be two separate baskets but I had to work with what we had.

Dax's farm and basket of animals.


So far this new space has been wonderful! It has stayed much cleaner (Dax can easily find what he's looking for minimizing random throwing around of toys) and there is such  a variety of materials that he can find something for any need he has.  Part two will be room updates..... stay tuned :)
