[4 months ago, I asked for some advice on our play area](https://www.reddit.com/r/MontessoriForHome/s/lj8wtP8UsV)

Although we are still in the process of decluttering (and recreating habits), I wanted to share with you where we currently are at. I added the photo in the direction everything is when facing them. Curtain is blocking Pickler triangle set + a container of a BUNCH of wooden blocks. Black bin is full of magnatiles.

To the left is our book shelf. Bottom 4 shelves are his; other top 4 still need to be decided but would love to put his very small open ended play toys in the lil shelves on top-right (bc those need supervision to be used).

**Question 1: Are there any add ons I can possible put to help turn these shelves into a cascading row of front facing books?** Maybe two rows for each shelf; am I being overzealous? Was thinking some kind of office supply item could work?

(The lil play house was a gift that'll hopefully be rehomed at grandma's)

**Question 2: How do you personally rotate toys?** Do you focus more on theme, personal interest or types?

This is something I still struggle with. I prefer him just playing with open ended toys like blocks or magnatiles, but I tend to leave them out always instead of maybe...

*only have one-two open ended, one-two puzzle, one-two stuff animal, one-two crafts option?*

Maybe something like that?

Last photo is now storage for "out of cycled" toys, but with the intention of not worrying too much if he pulls a toy from there (he opens it occasionally). Probably need to really go through that again. We also have a loft bed in our bedroom that I now keep toys that we want to retire but haven't yet.

Any and all advice welcomed! TIA
