I'm 99.9999999% sure we've all purchased age appropriate toys for our LOs. I'm also sure our LOs have discovered some things they're infatuated with that make us roll our eyes or shake our heads. What weird/funny/not-intended-to-be-LO-toy does your LO love?
LO loves the shower curtains -- both the fabric one and the plastic liner.
And sort of toy related -- he has some cheapo bath toys that my mom bought as pool toys. They're his favorite things ever, especially the crab and octopus. They go everywhere with him, including church and wegmans.
TV remotes, cell phones, any piece of fuzz on the floor, paper towels/napkins/toilet paper/tissues, empty water bottles (she always wants mine, so I looked online to see if I could do anything else with it sensory wise. I added rice to it and she loves the noise), the straps to the diaper bag ( she yanks on them and kinda looks like she's riding a horse when they pull the rope to make the horse stop or go), the strings on my hoodie sweatshirts. She's also a fan of the shower curtains too!

@JackieP1023 I am easily confused with my LO actually reaching for and wanting ME when I walk up to her. But then I realize it's just the strings about 99% of the time

Kitchen utensils (wooden spoons, plastic spatulas), half crunched water bottles because they make more noise that way, big brother's cups, bathroom shower curtains (although he's not allowed to play with them), big brother's tablet, my wallet... basically anything other than what I'm wanting him to play with...
Em likes bra straps....they're fun to ping apparently Any paper (just caught her eating the newspaper) and wooden spoons! Also any of the cats toys....but as he's equally good at stealing her toys I just let them get on with it
@mamosey omg Charly LOVES power cords. he races for them! ive picked up as many of them out of his reach as possible, he still tries to get them. especially my macbook charger. omg. i have to uplug it every morning and put it up so he doesnt put it in his mouth.
and paper. he loves paper. any kind. envelopes, coupons, paycheck stubs, clothing price tags, receipts. the bf is convinced that lo is blocked up with paper and thats why he doesnt poop very well
@armfruit maybe MOTY, but I have a bag of plastic bags hanging on a doorknob in the kitchen, and LO loves the sound they make. I sometime sit with him and let him bat at them.
@armfruit that reminds me! LO loves to take people's glasses off and play with them. I'm secretly hoping he breaks mine so I have an excuse to get new ones. (I need new ones, but I'm too lazy to go and actually get them.)
My LO loves splashing in the dog water bowl, an old credit card, and any toy in the house that was been 'well loved' by a dog/goat/cat. She has picked up a new fetish with shoving all the hay or straw on her mouth no matter how clean it is. She will have the best immune system ever.

DD is fascinated with shoes and flip flops! She also loves curtains of any sort.
When out, she is quickly calmed with any sort of water bottle--as long as it crunches!
ETA: Hoodie strings are the most interesting things in the world!
