I have been trying to fix this problem for years without much success. The overnight toys end up being stored under my coffee table alongside the crumpled Dora-the-Explorer story book. I will give this idea a test today. And I'll let my wife know that this policy will have a one month probation period. I hope it'd work. But let's see what happens.

I came up with a variant of it. I have one of those huge tubs with the rope handles. All my daughter's stuff that ends up upstairs gets put in it when we tidy up. She's too little for me to take her stuff but I think we'll try putting it away once a week now. This is a great idea. I came up with a variant of it.
