But when I do, I will look around with a wistfullness in my heart and miss the days where vibrant imaginations ran wild and there was evidence of life happening around me all the time!"

    Sorry - I just went by what had been done last year when I noticed none had been started yet. It was kind of a busy time. Hopefully next year we can remember to start them by age group.

    No problem. I think last year was the first divided by gender instead of age. And obviously some people prefer it that way.

    It was always a range, but small enough to be manageable. And there was NO gender division. It was kids 3-5 not boys 3-5. Now if I want to see every idea for my 20 month old, I have to read both threads. In my world, girls play with trucks and boys play with kitchens so its not like gender divisons of toys are meaningful or helpful in sorting out what my kids might like. And the threads are so much longer this way, it's a lot to wade through with much of it being totally irrelevant to what I am looking for.

Just a different way to do it works for different people, that's all.
    But don't you have to open the girls thread too? Or do you assume that there is no overlap in interests? I just don't see gender lines as that rigid or meaningful in terms of toys. At least 90 percent of the toys in our house are gender neutral by nearly anyone's standards (rocking horse, activity cube, unit blocks, etc, etc). What makes a toy a "boy" toy and not a "girl" toy?
