It's probably too much to expect the 18-month-old to separate and know where the pieces to Mr. Potato Head are. The 4-year-old is getting to a point where they could organize and match the right object to the right bin, however baby is in the mix. We have an 8, 6, and 2 year old. We do a big basement playroom clean up about once a week maybe twice. The 8 and 6 year old know what they need to do but often it helps if you're working with them. They sort of have their own corners in the basement, which does make the clean up easier. At least they know the general vicinity where to find the pieces the are looking for. I write a mom blog here in Atlanta and we have a nice community of older moms and newer moms. They offer lots of good advice. We hit a lot of parenting dilemmas -- such as expectations for responsibilities around the house. Stop by and visit us sometime at blogs.ajc.com/momania. I'll be back to check in your organization project - can't wait to see what they suggest. Hey Susan — I think this is a constant battle that the kids can help you fight as they get older.

I have lots of bins so they can easily put things away, but they never go where they are supposed to!! So every few months I resort them all!! I try to not let them go from one play area to another without cleaning up the area they are in. I do let them take more then one thing out in that area but once it gets to 3 or so things, I say that's enough. My kids are 3 and 6. It is a constant battle to keep toys organized!!

I think bins, drawers and totes are all we can do! Great post. My daughter likes to drag her toys from the play-room to our living room. I think bins, drawers and totes are all we can do!
