Large Rainbow

A private record of the toys you chose
Keep what your child did with the toys, long after the toys are gone.
The play kits tell you what to do until four; they do not tell you what to keep. Toy Chest holds each toy you chose — the Grimm’s, the Lovevery box, the Ostheimer fox — with a note, a place on this week’s rotation, and a printed book when you want one. Anyone who minds your child can open it and know what the small wooden things are for.
Every new chest starts with 14 days of Family, then stays free for 15 toys. No card.

Why this rotation
The rainbow stays out a third week: she has stopped stacking it and started building with it, which makes it a different toy. The fox and the mouse go together on the low shelf, since she has been making them talk. The ball drop box goes back in the cupboard for a month; she has solved it, and it will be new again when it returns.
Who opens it
The one who chose the toys
“I picked every one of these for a reason. Now the reason lives somewhere other than my head.”
The other parent
“I can finally tell what the small wooden things are for without having to ask.”
The nanny, the grandparents
“I open the rotation on my phone in the morning and know what to get out.”
Start with the toys within reach.
Type a name, and the card fills itself in. Six toys make a rotation; a year makes a book. We keep your child’s birth month, never the date, and no one trains on what you write.
