One thing that does concern me about having lots of things is that I worry that more things will lead to more mess and then to unsettled behavior (and then I think it's not enough and get more.)I do want home to feel peaceful.
Here is how I keep our playroom reasonable. Have a system where you switch out the toys. Limit what is out to a reasonable amount to manage and enough variety. Have a box/basket for each playset so everything has its place. We don't mix playsets because then it gets too complicated. Teach kids to pick up before the go on to another activity. Before leaving the house try to pick up, before bed try to pick up. We limit the toys to the playroom that way there is less pickup. The kids only have a small basket of stuffed animals in their bedroom. We keep bedrooms for sleeping, and quiet time. Hope this is helpful.
