Welcome to the wonderful world of cat parenthood.
Get rid of all things catnip. It's a stimulant and can really rev them up.
You will have to wait until they are older and mellow naturally. That's just the way cats are. Put your breakables away for awhile.
Bitter Apple is a spray that tastes really bad, spray it on stuff you don't want chewed. Be advised, some cats learn to like it.
Buy them toys. A "fishing pole" style will keep them running while you sit in one spot. So will a laser pointer. The hollow donut looking toys are also good; the ones that have a ball that goes around inside a sort of track. It looks like a donut.
Good Luck

Try spraying them with a water bottle when they attempt to knock items off of shelves and tables. If you are having problems with them getting on the kitchen counter, tape down tin foil where you don't want them to walk. The material feels unusual to cats and they jump down immediately afterwards most of the time. As for the chewing, spray what you can with pepper water or water mixed with anything spicy so they will stop. For things like pillows, basically the only thing to do is hide them or shut doors until they grow out of their "stage". You might also try the water bottle in that situation, too. Good luck!

Well you can try to train them but they are young. You can send them to a trainer to train your pets for you, of course there are other ways, you can put them in a room and check on them every now and then but then you would have to do that forever, you can scold them and that always works of course after a while they will stop doing this they are biting things because they are teething in the back by now. and knocking things down for their entertainment. I read in a book that when a cat or dog do these things it means that he/she has no activity to do so i recommend you start playing with your cats so they won't be bored enough to do these hirrible things. You can buy a cat toy or chase them and when you chase them make sure they are having fun. I hope that this helps, you can also check with a vet or cat owner or someone who works at a pet shop even call them because that would be easier and faster, i hope this helps!

I even have sat and watched my cat flick her paw against each element on my mantlepiece and only watch them fall. I have no thought. One time on the radio I heard this woman who has written a e book mentioned as "The Tribe of the Tiger" that's a non fiction e book only often approximately all cats the two wild and relatives and somebody phoned up and asked a similar question. you recognize what she mentioned? 50% of what all cats do is confusing under pressure out (which skill all cats wild or relatives do a similar issues like scratch issues and purr and stuff like that) and the different 50% properly they are only loopy! extra true words have been in no way spoken!

You didn't say how many but, welcome to adolescence!!! That's just what they do -- and more than one is DIFFICULT!
Put away as many things as you can, or they'll clean off the surfaces for you. Give them lots of toys to play with, and give them lots of personal attention to wear them out. They WILL calm down, but this is a phase they have to go through. Believe it or not, one day you'll miss this overly-playful stage (aka DEMON MODE).
Now is the time to start teaching them "NO". They won't take to it easily because being wild is FUN! But, consistency and repitition, just like with a human child, is the key.
Good luck and much patience!

A spray bottle full of water is the best, but then they are cats, and that is what cats do, at that young age.

Try a spray bottle . It's not cruel it will tell the cat's not to do that.
