Go me. I found it - the one sure-fire way guaranteed to get your children playing happily all together.

Yell at them to tidy up. Give them specific tasks - one tidies the board games, another picks up the jigsaws, and the third PICKS UP HER DOLLS AND PUTS THEM AWAY OTHERWISE I'LL GIVE THEM TO SOMEONE WHO WILL LOVE THEM. NOW!


And bingo - three children, not whining, not fighting, not complaining, but involved in some huge project and up to their elbows in Duplo.




Now who's going to tidy up all this soddin' DUPLO!
