lightening mcCLEAN

convincing a 4 year old to clean up his toys because it is time to go to bed, is never an easy task. so, what's a mom to do when she wants her kid to do something??? no...not bribe (although that works too!) turn it into a game! andrew was busy playing with a flashlight at the time clean up time came around so i made up this game for him...
i pointed the flashlight at a toy and he had to race to put it away in the correct toy bin before i was shining the light on another toy. i really didn't expect this to work, but it did...and andrew actually was having fun while cleaning up his toys. so...we named this game lightening mcCLEAN! what could be better than a game named after his favorite race car?
