yep! Some days whenI just want to watch "normal adult tv" I put a few dvd's one and she happily plays for a few hrs.... the room ends up a mess but we dont have to look at it!!
Im my next house I will be getting an arial in the rumpas room so the kids can have ABC4 as well... but for now dvd's for the same shows are all good!
Yes. We have a flat downstairs which at present is used as a toy room and a place for guests to stay - it also have a TV with Foxtel on it to keep them amused when I am ironing or whatever. We had everything down there for the kids, but a lot of it has slowly made its way upstairs. DS1 is moving into the flat in the coming weeks and his old room will then become the kids play room.
We built a big house last year and by far the best bit of it is....THE PLAY ROOM!!! It saves my sanity big time.
We have a tv, dvd player, book shelf, a big train table, a comfy breasftfeeding couch, bean bags and tubs of toys in there. And although, we still get some toys through the house it's so manageable! If I'm feeling lazy, it doesn't get cleaned and I can just shut the door! We have french style doors on it too, so we can see in there from our living area.
Sounds like a great idea. Those garages with internal access to the house are super toxic too so it'll be good not be using it for your car anyway. We have a spare room off the kitchen and the kids have some toys in there and they both like playing in there but then I dumped a heap of unpacked boxes in there... I need to clean it out to get the toys out the lounge room. I'm tripping over all the time!
Yes we have a playroom too, it does work well as the kids are able to watch TV out there and play the wii so there is enough out there to keep them there iykwim. Although they are at school through the week they really dont spend hours upon hours in there now, they like to play outside with their mates after school now.
Our 16mth old will bring toys out on the odd occassion but thats to be expected he is still only little. We have always had a playroom, i dont know where we would put everything if we didnt have one.
