I do remember those days. What helped with my Little Miss Messy Monster (that is actually a childrens book that our family LOVES!!) were that we ahd containers for EVERYTHING!! I use to use those baby wipes containers that were designed like legos. We had a sticker on the outside and all of her small plastic animals would go in them. She loved small plastic animals and they were all grouped. Bugs, dinos, Disney, frogs, etc. We still have many different clear containers, but the one thing I always thought was important was to have a spot for everything. She is now 12 and still wears the title of Little Miss Messy Monster BUT everything has its place. (It does not always get there.)
A fun thing we also used to do was to call a color and everything that color we went and put up. (At her school it was a contest to see who could pick up and put away the most items!!) Good luck.
