Oh, no! I guess that's when we'll have to start playing the ultra-fun game: Beat the child. 😲

I used the "get on ebay and buy them there own one" tactic. That way you dont clog up your pc with a ship load of kiddy stuff too. 😀

Ahhh....but what do you do when they start remembering and asking where that toy you bought them months ago is?

My son (18 months) is fascinated by chess pieces. I bought him his own set so he'd leave mine alone. Doesn't work, of course 😉
He'll play with his, until I get mine out to prepare a move against that Cheshire Cat. Then the boy has to have MY pieces.
Still, it's cute when he's playing with his own. He stands the pieces up on the board, then knocks them over. I guess he likes wide open positions 🙂
Then he'll load the pieces into his toy truck and drive them across the floor. He used to say, "chess," but hasn't for a few months.

Top tip is only ever sell their stuff when you`ve already bought the replacement. Trust me it works. Also you get some money back, kids stuff always sells.

I spent about forty dollars for my last set of chess pieces. Suffice it to say when my little on gets ahold of them (rare), it's like WW11 in my house. Dive...Dive...save the chessmen.....Ahhhh....he's been slobbered on........Nooooooooo!!!😉

Don't be embarrassed; just blame the kid! It was clearly sabotage. 😉
