We will soon be transferring twins to their nursery in a bout a month. Other than just your standard crib mobiles, what other entertaining items have you found helpful in entertaining your lil ones til they fall asleep?

The Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium is aaaaaawesome.

It plays for 20 minutes, has several songs/sounds to choose from, and has settings for sound only, sound & lights, or sound, lights & fishy movement (the latter of which sucks batteries like crazy). The best part -- it has a remote control...that way if it turns off and your LO is still awake, you can sneak in and turn it on again without disturbing them.

DS still adores his. When he wakes in the morning/after naps, he crawls over and turns it on himself and "talks" to the fish.

I second getting a musical crib soother- my daughter still uses her Fisher Price Waterfall to fall asleep- and she's almost 3!  We take it with us when we go out of town and the familiar music has helped her to fall asleep just about anywhere.  The ocean one looks great too and has a remote!

We also used the aquarium one and my dd loved it.  I bought ours at the second hand baby store for $10.  She loved it would turn it back on once she was old enough and would turn it on in the morning and talk to the fish.  After I put that in the crib we never cried in the morning I heard her talking to the fish and the music playing and knew she was up.
