We had a two story house with a family and a den so most of the toys were downstairs. I did not think of their bed. I have to say boys never stay where they are told to stay. It's genetic.

The only thing I would add is that instead of just leaving children in their bedrooms, leave them on their beds. This way, there is nothing (or, at least, very little) to play with. We live in a 1600 sq. ft. house, so most of my daughter's toys are in her room. Putting her on her bed is a torture to her three-year-old mentality because she can see all her toys, but she can't get off her bed to get to them. I suppose this only works if your child actually minds you, though... Great tips!
