Toddler Playroom Starter Kit: Six Pieces, No Regrets
A short list for the 1-to-3 crowd. Soft surfaces, big bins, nothing with 80 pieces.
Toddler playrooms have one job: contain the chaos while still letting it happen. The wrong setup is a Pinterest board with seventeen baskets and a kid throwing blocks at the wall.
These six pieces show up in basically every playroom that works — the foam mat, the giant bin, the climber, the front-facing books. Boring on paper, undefeated in practice.
