maybe it's an age thing b/c we don't really have a ton of toys I'm worried about at the moment either... I was thinking the same thing as Shan. I stared at the toy bin trying to figure out what I'd have to hide after I read this the other day, and I couldn't come up with much yet!!

50% of K's toys are musical. Drums, bongos, keyboards, etc.. Then you have 25% that are dolls, and her tea party stuff (nothing that is not rated for birth up). 10% balls and that kind of thing... hockey pucks, bouncy balls, base balls, tennis balls, etc, etc, etc... She really loves her balls. Then she has her wooden blocks (200 to be precise) and her building blocks are the larger style that I bought her for her first birthday. She really doesn't have toys that aren't ok for a baby to play with. She does have some puzzles and her art sets that he won't be allowed to touch for quite a while, but she does all that stuff on the table. Then her crayons and markers get put on top of the fridge because I have seen almost everyone of my sisters and brothers have their walls colored. LOL

LOL Maybe that is why we will have an easy time too... C will only accept toys in "sport" form right now, so we have helmets galore (hockey, baseball, football...) shin guards, elbow pads, skates, hockey sticks, baseball bats, balls of all sort, football pads and jerseys..... OK as I list these things they all sound like weapons, but I intend to NOT let him use the baby as a hockey puck, so hopefully we'll be good to go. LOL! He has musical instruments too, Shan, and a train table w/ trains.... some cars, but yeah, mostly like your list. I'll be aware of this when buying new toys in the future though... still a very good post to read!
