I only have two, fiarly close in age and the best thing I've come up with
is when I hear them fighting over anything, I calmly walk over, take the
object in question, walk to the garbage can (in sight of both of them) and
deposit the offending item.  This may or may not be accompanied by something
like. "Keep fighting and ALL your toys will be in the garbage."
I've only done it three times, the third being the clincher.
