my dd loves the tissue box !! Anyone else have something their baby loves around the house?
we dont always have to buy big expensive toys to keep them happy, even though we just bought a fisher price jungle theme big play toy which costed us $120 she seemed more intrested in the tissue box :rolleyes:
My DD loves toilet rolls, boxes of any kind, brown paper shopping bags, car keys, mobile phone (which is why I am onto my third this year), lip gloss tin, wooden spoons....ummm...anything I am currently holding!
My DD likes pulling the tissues out of the box but doesn't try and eat them, just likes making a mess, she also likes pulling all the plastic ware out of the bottom cupboard and making music with it.
The best toy i made when she was little was rice and glitter in a clear breast pump container and glued on the lid... it rolled as it was round and she could shake it.
Oh and she likes toilet rolls???
good idea!! i might make that now actually as i have some rice and a plastic breast cup thing :D:
If you have glitter or even coloured paper you can cut up small and throw in with it (anything bright really) they love that too.
DD used to try looking in and seeing whats in there, then she would shake the c**p out of it to see if it moved.
Ohh the other thing is she LOVES the plastic spoons or wooden spoons and hitting the plastic containers etc with them... some cheap shops have LITTLE kids sized ones for like $1 each, am thinking of getting DD some so they wont hurt her much and she can't break mine... lol
Tags, cords, empty milk cartons, unopened chip packets (we made nachos last night and after all her banging, it was crushed chips)... oh the blinds on the doors out to the balcony... pretty much anything we don't want her to get into, she wants to get into!
just gave her the plastic container with the rice in it-had a few shakes and then shes back to her tissue box. I think i need to put some glitter in it lol
Unrolling the toilet rolls, unpacking the tissue box, remote controls, mobile phones... and everything in the her cupboard (the plastics cupboard ;)) in the kitchen! And also anything she can get into that she's not supposed to! Although she gives herself away by giggling hysterically when she realises she's doing something she's not supposed to!! LOL!
She also loves pulling apart a foam alphabet/number floor jigsaw thing we were given. That will keep her entertained for AGES!
A good one is to put scarves into a tissue box, or wipes container once the tissue box is destroyed, so she can pull them out & put them in all day long without making a mess :)
Ohhh Sarah_H i might have to try that, get cheap bright hankies from the cheap shops and fill the tissue boxes etc with them... YAY your brilliant!
OH great idea Sarah!!!!!!! Would never have thought of that!
Jazz also likes to rip the tissues so this will work nicely!
Z used to love it, cheap scarves or hankies or even just random pieces of scrap material are great :)
My DS loves the door stop for the sliding door into the kitchen. Whenever I put him down near it he crawls straight for it! He also has an unhealthy obsession with my car keys, lol...
Oh, and carpet fluff!!! :rolleyes:
My DD loves paper, junk mail magazines... omg she has soo much fun with them!!!! she loves mobile phones, car keys, water bottle with water in it, keyboard, calculator, LOL !! so many things.... it's so easy to keep them entertained with things other than their own toys.
DD likes all of the above but her fave thing to do is put clothes pegs in and out of her (beach set) bucket
OMG yes the door stop! We had three, and Jazz stashed them all somewhere!!!!! We had to go buy more as she has her own little stockpile. Obviously we found them all when we'd bought more :doh:
Charlie is obsessed with a bunch of things
Tissue box. she will wriggle and throw herself across me and make a beeline for it!
I had to take the tablecloth off the blanket box that serves as our coffee table because she was trying to pull herself into sitting position by yanking on it. kinda scary when you see a number of heavy objects inch across the table toward her. Would chew it too.
Any t-shirts she comes across, something about the texture of the material in her mouth.
her blanket on the floor. she rolls herself up like a big sausage roll.
the corner of a shopping bag was hanging out the cupboard and she realised it made noise so vigilant about tucking them away now.
fluff. i swear she collects it!
Toilet paper rolls, tissue boxes, boxes of nappy wipes (he will happily empty a whole box), pegs, cutlery and well anything hes not allowed. Forget the toys if I scold him for taking it, its great!
what a fun thread! my dd loves to play with wooden kitchen utensils under supervision. she loves to gnaw her chompers on them! she also loves containers of all sorts, especially her diaper creme! :cosleep1:
My son also enjoys playing with all those things mentioned as well- tissues, wipes, toilet paper and just the rolls, pegs, mobile and cordless home phone, remote controls, water bottles,plastic cupboard- but thankfully he always likes to put them all back when he's finished.
He also likes the pots and pans, plastic ladel (that he stirs his pot with), buckets, the scoop from washing powder (particularly when in the bath), an old measuring cup, his own dust pan and brush, my hair brush, calculators (puts up to far like a phone though), plastic coat hangers and most importantly an empty little bubbles container -this would have to be his favourite bath toy for some strange reason- pretends to blow bubbles then points to a full bubble container which i keep up on a shelf for me to blow bubbles with.
