Silk scarves have provided the best play- they are sarongs for DD, wraps for dolly, bed linen, veils, wings, 'rivers' for DD to swim in- it goes on and on!
Also, DH picked up a roadside branch, sawed off pieces of diff sizes and sanded them. Well!! These have become people, plates and cups, playground equipment, animals, fences, chairs for small toys etc etc And completely free!
DD also loves her real (from the Salvos) muffin tins, cake tins, spoons, sieves etc in her sand pit.
My little one is only 9 months old but she's obsessed with the empty pawpaw ointment tub i washed out. She'd grab the full one and drop it on her face during change time so I saved an empty one for this purpose. After change time she'll roll it around the floor for a good 20 mins and then slug around after it. She also likes tea towels and will rub them against her face and pile her blocks into them like a sack.
I mentioned in the other thread that DD has been playing with a cardbox quite a lot recently. Today, she was sat in it with her 4 night time teddies for ages.
She's beginning to get into the tea set and ideas of tea parties, and she loves the blocks/duplo - in fact, I think the duplo is one of her most requested toys.
She loves play dough - I have a great home made recipe, which keeps really well.
I haven't tried cooking or craft yet, but probably will before long. Love some of the ideas from the slightly older toddlers!
