Toys For Your Baby That You Already Have

“What are your favorite household items that can double as toys?”

Answer: Literally ANYTHING that is safe for your little one to play with! I love getting creative with what we have available.

• Things like towel or blanket rolls – great for supported tummy time, rolling help, crawling progression from army to regular, jumping over, stepping over for single-limb stance, etc!

• Pots and pans & utensils for banging.

• Couch cushions or crib mattresses for obstacle courses.

• Beans in a sealed tight empty water bottle for sensory & music-making.

• Baking sheets with warm and cold water in them for tummy time, and sitting play!

The possibilities are ENDLESS! Hope this inspires you to get creative. If you try something fun, tag me on Instagram!!

Hope that helps!
