  They are barely playing together at age 2. All you need to know is that sometimes one of them wants the other's binkie or toy and you have to redirect or teach them to share.

   Are you serious?  I don't have a good recommendation for a book, but there is definitely issues with multiples playing together under 2.  Yes in the area of social emotional development typical children don't play "together" until closer to 3, but when you have twins there is definitely sharing issues.  I think the poster was looking for whether she should be redirecting, returning the toy to the original player, etc.  I always wonder what the right way to go is with my boys and they are not even 1 yet.
