If you have 2 or more...toy storage question

DD#2 is getting close to being somewhat mobile (you know that stage where I leave her on the floor and come back to find her in a different spot with a change pad in her mouth), which makes me think that it's time to clean out our toy bin of all the small/dangerous things.  Just wondering what everyone else has done to keep their 'big kid' toys away from their wee ones.  Where are you putting it?    DD#1 is only 2, so it's not like she has tons of small things but, I'd rather be safe than sorry.

    I'm almost in that boat. My plan is to put the small toys in our downstairs toy box where normally only DD#1 plays. When DD#2 starts playing there more I'm not sure what my plan will be. Maybe move the small toys to DD#1's room?

    My DD#1 had to learn to play with a lot of stuff at the kitchen table.  She loves little things which were (still are) very hard to keep track of with the baby around.  I cleaned out a drawer in the dining room hutch for some stuff and put other toys in plastic drawer bins in the hall closet.  Some of it I just took away and hid, we'll get that out when DD#2 stops putting EVERYTHING in her mouth which I hope is soon!  

    DD#1 never had any jealousy issues until #2 was mobile and started getting into her stuff.  Then it was ON!  lol :)

    I guess because mine are so close together (13.5 months), I never really had that problem, because DS1 didn't really have toys with small pieces at that age either. The only thing I have really had to worry about is broken crayons/chalk. I make him keep crayons at the table but have to be fast if he drops one. I have had to temporarily remove his chalk from his chalkboard easel, because DS2 keeps trying to eat it!

    Yikes!  I didn't even think of crayons etc.  There isn't much (yet) that's dangerous, and I'm sure my older one won't even notice if stuff is gone =)
