What's your child's favorite non-toy plaything? At the moment DS's is the Sabco swish mop - I've put the handle down so its only half a metre long & keep it next to the fridge. He gets it out every day to sweep the floor. So cute!
In second place is a sippy cup that leaks and a water bottle - the only things he plays with in the bath (he's got about 10 ducks, dolphins etc that get ingnored)
It's a tie here. EIther any pair of my shoes she can find to walk around in (her current fave is my camel coloured 10cm heel ankle boots - they make a great stamp noise on the tiles), or my wallet to pull the cards out and re-arrange, pull the cards out, and re-arrange....you get the idea.
LOL, definately my purse, she is on a constant hunt for food for her "piggy" namely all of the coin in my purse usually the gold stuff is picked first (her piggy has been getting really heavy over the last couple of weeks as she bats her eyes and asks for "piggy food" from anyone with a purse now).
A pink bra that he stole while i was folding the washing. Loves it! DH doesnt know what to think - on one hand it's "Yay, he's a bobbie man" , on the other hand it's "oh god, he likes womens clothing" :rolleyes:.
oh blizz - piggy food, how cute :)
Krystal loves this one particular pair of heels (pointy toe slip ons) (at the same time she HAS to have her handbag, and 2 of our old phones yelling 'hello hello')
the vac & mop - loves to 'keen' the floor
the pegs, she has to hand me every peg while i hang out the washing, and if i try to put them back in the basket.. she will tip it out anyways - this makes hanging the washing out fun when the pegs are all over the yard!
Ha Rach I hear ya on the pegs - it takes forty times as long too. Then there's the retrieving of the pegs as you get stuff off...
Oh yes the pegs - I have to keep re-directing him from dropping them off the verandah. Lots of setting a good example with 'Thank you' every time he hands me a peg too.
A big plastic spoon, it's classic......out of all the presents given at Christmas time all he played with was a spoon. Now that we are at home he cruises around the house with a spoon, I often wonder why I wasted my money on all those toys. He loves to wave it, bang it on the floor, bang it at the wall...very funny.
She absolutely loves shoes at the moment, particularly my pair of leather flat shoes with a buckle. She loves playing with the buckle.
She also loves her pants. When I'm folding up the washing she sits and watches me, then when I come to folding her stuff she waits until I'm folding her pants and she picks them up and crawls off with them and just plays with them, waves them around, sucks on them, laughs at them etc.
Door stoppers here, any she can find. She takes the plastic ones off the back of the doors, the wooden ones my mum has, the plastic ones I brought for the bedrooms...any where she can get her pudgy hands on one!! Mums has a knobby thing on the top of it and she crawls around with it in her mouth like a dummy....very cute and very strange...
DS has just discovered his boy bits so they are a fave!!
toilet paper!!, she loves to have a piece to firstly wipe her bottom(through her clothes) then uses it to do general house cleaning (usually toilet floor eeegghhh) then puts it in the toilet waving and saying "bye-bye" and waving to it until it dissappears out of sight!!!
oh yeh, since we introduced the toilet (we bought a pooty, but she prefers the kiddy deat on the loo) she goes through the whole process.. pulling as much paper off the roll as she can, then 'wipe bum bum' through her clothes! then 'drop paper' close the lid and 'fush'
cute :)
hehehe what a gorgeous thread!
His fave is (atm) his very own remote control (batteries removed) or the lid from a tupperware container. Go figure ;D
Pegs, the dog chain, long lighter (especially the rope at the back) and a metal serving tray
And
the cat's food
This is an awesome thread! Hehe there are just so many things he gets to! :p
The main faves are definitely kitchen utensils (wooden spoons, tongs and cutlery). Also one terrible habit he has is removing the bin plastic things that go around it (if you know which ones I mean?) and putting them over his head! eeww!
Oh yep and definitely the washing basket and LOVES my purse too! ahh it's so frustrating seeing your cards everywhere on the floor :|
ZA loves everything thats not a toy!! Favs are the poor cat, my purse, LOVES my shoes, handbags (will even put a coathanger over his arm for a bag!) washing basket and his wiggles lunch box. He is currently obsesed with his big bros boxer shorts and will wear up to 5 pairs at a time, and refuses to take them off when we go out!!! He looks just too cute!!
DS loves the catalogues and an old mobile phone that we have, and he loves his boy bits too!!! Every time we take the nappy off the hands go straight there!!!
This is a great thread Malaki - I'm reading all the post and going oh yep, and hmmhmm
the paper and the vaccum cleaner, only when Dh uses it though, he follows him all over the house trying to catch it, but screams when I use it.
Haha Claire is the same with the vacuum here
at the moment its any necklaces/bangles, and any "tube" of something, toothpaste, pawpaw, sunscreen etc :)
I have a pair of stripy rainbow undies, and every time dd sees them in the clean washing out they come and on they go. she tucks them into her waitband - very funny (although the grandparents were around yesterday, don't know what they made of it).
Oh, and we have some of those rubber oven mits - hours of entertainment right there.
My DD loves anything she can smoother on herself as cream. Weather it be yoghurt, water, my makeup anything she can get her hands on she has to rub into her arms and legs etc.
at the moment its;;
remotes
batteries
dads shoes (any of them)
dvds and the covers
the keyboard (not her one but the one mummy and daddy uses)
toilet paper
mobile phones!!
pulling the door stoppers off..
she has so many toys and these are what she goes for!!
DVD's make good building blocks apparently, also peg bucket, the decorating stones on top of out door Yukka's pot, all of my washing and the clothes dryer ie, all of my washing goes in the clothes dryer!! including some of her toys and any shoes she can find, anything in the kitchen she can reach,
most definately anything that belongs to our dog Shep especially his bed (eeeggghhh) and doubly especially if he wants it first!!!
They all just love other things huh!!
Oskar likes the broken playstation controller... Maybe cos Joshua sits him on his lap when he's playing?? Also likes empty cup type containers from his fruit and plastic bowls which came in one of my crisco hampers...lol.
DD#2 always finds the metal clasp on her bouncer and tries to eat it! :rolleyes: I've moved the bouncer and she stills gravitates towards it .............. past her own personal toy shop scattered across her play rug :p Oh and DD#1 has all these fandankled toys and dolls etc but her favourite thing is "typing emails" on an old computer keyboard (she "plugs" the lead in between the lounge cushions so the "computer works", lol!)
oh oh just thought of something else!!!
when i put make up on (eyeshadow & mascara) she likes to scrape the eyeshadow out of the little squares with the brush... :rolleyes: i know i shouldnt let he play with it, i have learnt my lesson now!
also, she puts my mascara up to her eyebrows and says 'oohhhh pitty kissal' lol so cute (the lid is hard to take off, so i dont mind her doing this!)
a girl after my daughters heart LOL!!! how cute:
she does all kinds of things that are 'pitty Kissal'!!
its amazing how quick they pick up on how things are used isnt it!
i also have 4 beaded necklaces... when they catch her eye, she has to wear all four at once :rolleyes:
Claire also loves playing with DVDs and videos. She has worked out how to open the TV cabinet and loves taking all the video/DVD's out and just scattering them on the floor. Then she will walk them along the carpet - she put her hands on the box, and her bum in the air and walks the box. She reckons its very funny.
And the bin. I dont know wht is so attractive about the bin but I am constantly hving to move the bin, or tell her it yukky and dont touch.. but for some reason she just keeps going back to it.
My DDs (the 2 and 4 year old) LOVE to play with bubbles from the sink when I am doing dishes. They clap them together, spread them all over the floor, make "beards" and "hair" with them. It's the greatest toy ever for them. :)
The other thing that they both love is to take a cup of water and a paintbrush and "paint" anything and everything in the house. It's all pretty harmless 'cause there's only a tiny bit of water in the cup, and they have lots of fun painting on the table, chairs, wall, etc.
DD is always trying to put her DVDs in to the Austar box saying "goog- gools" for those who need interpretation "The Wiggles"
Love it! lol!
DD loves her nappy bag, she sits there and unpacks it and pulls it completely apart. Keeps her entertained for hours!
Having said that...she loves getting into everything she isn't supposed to. For example, I just finished tidying the study yesterday for FILs arrival tomorrow, I have just finished watching DD pull it apart and make it look worse than it did originally! Whatever keeps them entertained (I too ask myself why we have so many toys when she doesn't use them!).
Now its a box of Huggies - each time a new bag is opened its a test to see how soon he can manage to get all the nappies out and spread them about his room. I try to get him to help pile them back into the box, but thats not as much fun as pulling them out
DD has been trying to climb inside her Huggies box and then tries to put her head between her knees(she's just way to tall) has led to some spectacular tip outs LOL
Skaja has a new game : Let's see how many times we can empty mummy's purse and which cards we can hide!!
It's loads of fun.......NOT!!!:doh:
My mum has this silicone oven mit for cooking. Claire loves it. I put it on my hand and I make it talk and she reckons its soooooo funny. I think I might go get one for myself and draw some eyes on it so it looks alive.
