No matter how much time you spend with them, in a heartbeat they can become bored and whatever you are doing is far more interesting than what they were doing. As others have said, they are always right in the middle of everything.
With the children's toys, there may be some interest in them but probably more interest in how someone interacts with them. On their own, chest the risk of a choke hazard or bowel obstruction.
Not having the cats in the bedroom is something I can't imagine. Left to their own devices for the evening can only spell trioubleunless they have their own room to retire to. From time to time we do crate our SV boy, primarily when we are doing something that poses a hazard for him. Sometimes just when telling him to get down or no for the 132nd time didn't sink in.
In all, they are the greatest of pets and the truest of friends. The cost of that is in part your home has to be constructed around their needs, and anything you wish not to see broken needs to be locked away. I would also strongly recommend spreading out the first and second kitten acquisitions so they have a good bond with the caretakers before having a partner. It also sets the level of expectations as to what two of them may accomplish when they put their heads together.
