This method is a cute and not so harsh way to get your younger children to pick up behind themselves and to do chores. If after being told to clean up their toys you still have to pick it up take the toy and put it in "Toy Jail". The toy will serve a sentence of one chore the first time, two chores the second time, and will increase from there. The hope is that this will not exceed two or three times a day. The ultimate goal is that children will pick up their toys the first time that they're told.

| You left your stuff out, its a massive fail, and now its locked in: TOY JAIL/ Complete a chore to get your things out of trouble, but remember next time the sentence will be double! |
Helps With Instilling the Ideas of:
1. Responsibility for ones own belongings.
2. Habits of Tidiness
** Recommended for Ages 3- 10 years old. **
An older alternative to this method would be the Chore Bucket. With the same idea of finding your child's things laying around but with a slightly harsher penalty.
This method pulls on the idea that things on the ground must be garbage. This is a concept that older children should get and will have to be accustom to with the use of this particular method.
** Recommended for Ages 11 and up. **
