Today I made a couple of simple toys for DS (almost 4 months old).
1. I sewed some bells onto a pair of socks, so they jingle when he kicks.
2. I put a couple of bells inside a sock and sewed it closed. This made a great rattle because it was easy for him to grasp & jiggle around without injuring himself (as he does on some of the hard plastic ones!!).
So anyway, I was wondering what toys other people make for their bubbas. I'm keen for more ideas!
Great thread...I'll be looking out for ideas that come up too...
You can't go past rice in a plastic bottle!
Also, kids love 'posting' things. Cut a hole in the lid of a container big enough to fit shapes through and off you go.
Playdough - need I say more??
Strips of crackly plastic shopping bags sewn into an orange or onion bag, they love the noise!
a couple of buckets of water and some plastic cups
if your feeling a bit creative you can expand on the rice in the water bottle idea -put in a bit of water a few drops of food colouring and some glitter and superglue the lid on. Or you can use a couple of shiny beads and a few bits of coloured paper and a little bit of rice (but no water in this one lol). Or whatever takes your fancy really
There's a huge thread already on this ;)
