Making toys from household items

3

Take the baby wipe dispensers that come with the bulk baby wipes and show your little one how to put small baby links, cars & other smaller toys through the slot. They can then shake it around, open it up and discover all their toys again (great for endless entertainment). They are also good for storing little matchbox cars.

Use empty, clean water bottles stuffed with various items (coffee beans, paper, popcorn, coins, etc), glue the lid on (make sure it is secure before giving it to your little one) and voila – an instant shaker!

    That’s a great idea! I’ve resorted to using my wallet – not to buy toys for my toddler son, but to keep him entertained while we’re out and about. He just loves taking out my cards and putting them back in.
