I have only non-breakable ornaments which helps. Last year I had the big tree in the family room and placed the play yard around it. It took some time to convince the kiddos not to climb over the gates but eventually they got. Then when I went to take the tree down I found 2 forks, a juice box, several small toys and quite a few other objects in and behind the tree. I guess they figured out that if they couldn't get in to play with it, they would just throw things at it!
This year I have a small tree on a table with only decorations that they can play with safely. The big tree is upstairs and strictly off limits. I will still use only un-breakable ornaments on it, but at least it has a chance of surviving the toddler on-slaught.
