Must come with the territory...hmmm. One thing we did was bring the toy donations on trip #1...which worked out great because we were with 2 other families which really didn't bring much...so we shared and then left them.
We also traded off toys on trip #2...like a book I brought for 8 month old Alex was loved by a 2 year old in the group...so I just gave it to her.
Plus, we did buy toys on all 4 trips...not too hard to find, especially when in Moscow...we spent a lot of time in Children's World (?...the big toy store in Moscow)...but I also remember seeing toys in the grocery.
Plus...how hard is it to make a toy or two out of 'common' things...
