Our house was getting really messy with little toys all over the floors that just couldn't make their ways back home to their baskets. And so, our family adopted a pet: the Gobbler. Whenever toys litter the floor, our Gobbler's belly begins to rumble. The kids hear loud grumbles... the sound of chomping... and the Gobbler (a drawstring bag I sewed to look like a monster) comes out to feed on toys! Quickly, the kids try to snatch up as many as they can before the Gobbler eats them. They stay in his belly all week (sometimes, all month) until he regurgitates them, and then the kids have to grab the ones they want and put them away before he gets hungry again.
Our floors have never been cleaner (and what a great way to sort through old toys)!
