When we were training Lucas (we were training for a loooong time). We would have him in his harness on his leash and then attach the leash to us (like on a belt loop, etc). It worked so well, he would never have an accident.
As far as toys in the crate, I more meant when you are starting out training her and are home when she is in there, just to make her feel comfortable.
When she is in there alone while you are out, there are some safe alternatives for having in the crate. Here is the one we give Lucas (yellow football one at the top):

It's virtually indestructible. Lucas can chew pretty good and there isn't a scratch on it so I find it safe.
