Re: Favorite non-toy "toys"

  • The remote is by far the most favorite. The roku remote even has a tag on it which he particularly loves.

  • I was thinking about asking this the other day! 

    One day DH was saying J was SUPPPPER fussy. I told him to take an empty water bottle and put dried pasta in it. I had never done it before but for some reason I just felt like it would make him happy. Well it did. And now It's been a staple in his playtime for the last three weeks. I just check the cap constantly and make sure it's on tight. He loves it :)

  • Favorite by far is the laundry basket.
    Out things in it...take them out...put herself in it....flip it over then back up. It provides at least 45 minutes of play on a daily basis.

    She also loves water bottles, a ladle, remote, empty containers, cups, and my phone (but I don't allow that one)
  • @etc35173 I love the decoy shelf idea!

  • Lately, DS is really into non toys and containers. He loves to empty bins.

    He is really into hitting the door stoppers with his feet. He loves empty Kleenex boxes. His favourite thing to play with at okay group is empty coffee cups.

    We have a jumperoo and the lions head came off. It is now his favourite thing to put in and out of his toy box.

    His all time fav game right now - throw his food over the high chair to the dog. So instead of giving him food, I bought a bunch of puffs on sale and he throws those. Most of them end up in his chair anyway.

    For real. He loves to grab the dog's toys out of his bin and throw them around so he will play with them. He loves watching our dog destroy a stuffed animal.

  • The rubber door stop in my bedroom (natural anti bacterial wipes have become my best friend).

  • Plastic water bottle, remote, my phone, my flip flops, my keys, an old gift card, and pretty much anything that's not one of her toys.

  • Water bottles are a favorite of his. Tries to go for shoes and phones.
  • Oh, and LO likes playing with his socks. Surprised we haven't lost more of them because he tries taking them off his feet and then biting or throwing them.
  • Need I say more?
    So adorable! Look at how happy he is!

  • The dishwasher... He makes a run for it as soon as it's open and throws a tantrum when we close it.
  • She LOVES the straw from the big cup they gave me at L&D at the hospital for water. @WildRumpus Does E play with yours? 

    I also took the batteries out of a remote control that we don't use, and she loves that as well. She also likes cups, keys, and my mom's watch.

    I love that cup. I haven't thought to let LO play with it. I should :)

    I always sit on the floor of her room to put my make-up on in the morning (there's a long mirror behind her door) - she wants all of my makeup containers and brushes - so cute, a little beauty!

    I forgot mine at the hospital! I brought my Camelback bottle with me so I didn't really use the big one, and then we forgot to pack it. He loves straws though
