Welcome! This is a question we read a lot on our site, and not everyone is as gracious about the kitten krazees are you seem to be! The basic truth is that kittens are like little kids, except most kids don't play destructo around the house all night. Since your babies were abandoned by Mama, they have the added disadvantage of not being around her long enough to learn what's acceptable and what's not. Now, it's YOUR responsibility 8-) Playtime with you can tire them out as well as teach them. However, you can't discipline the kitten krazees out of them. All you can do is kitten proof your home. Put away valuable chachkees, houseplants, etc. for a while. My cats don't play with their toys (with the exception of Izzie who LOVES a giant marble I found in my craft box)unless I play with them, but they love cardboard boxes, paper bags, etc. and these things are all safe toys. Channel their energy into playing with you. At this age they can even be taught to play "fetch" with small balls!
