Yeah, too many here too. I kind of have a policy- anything that isn't played with in six months either goes to the toy library, playgroup, or the Salvos, or shipped off to relatives houses so I don't have to cart toys around.

I am pretty minimilist and I like to buy toys second hand, or free-cycled toys. if I buy new it's things like a steel wheelbarrow and red wagon, that are good qulaity and will last. Not much I can do about the ones we get as presents thoug, and some people (like my SIL) are just so over the top. She bought ds twice as much as we did for Xmas- who needs that much, at 2 years old?
