He really enjoyed the tin foil ball @London Mama: ! A sticky ball of tape wrapped backwards has been a hit too.</p> <p>This is the toy of the day, my fruit basket of lemons and limes... He has been throwing them around the kitchen. Getting them nice and juicy for my Coronas later ;) </p> [attach=1790/12/mfk7yi.338x600.2012-12-24_13-10-40_620.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-diy-toy#post-421570 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:17:00 +0000 prettylizy 421570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why am I stressing over having well made wood toys all the time? lol!!!

Like "Mom, can I have my toy back now?"</p> <p>I put the cover to one of her bottles in a tupperware container and she played with that all the time. It reminds me that she really doesn't need toys to keep her entertained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-diy-toy#post-421458 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 11:30:13 +0000 Honeybee 421458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice! </p> <p>One time I made DD a noise maker by taping a couple of paper cups together with some beans inside. She was really into that for months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-diy-toy#post-421454 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 11:29:23 +0000 London Mama 421454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scrunched up aluminium foil, sometimes with a piece of string attached so I can ang it somewhere! Perfect for smaller babies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-diy-toy#post-421446 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 11:26:12 +0000 lemondrop 421446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put this together this morning while making my coffee, and it has kept him busy for a record amount of time! I threw a few coffee beans into a Gatorade bottle and taped the top. He can throw it and roll it and make tons of noise without breaking anything!</p> <p>We've had a rough couple of days with him getting into EVERYTHING... Trash cans, dog and cat food, splashing in the water dishes, chewing on shoes, etc- 11 months is seriously worse than a puppy!</p> <p>Are there any DIY toys that you have made that have been a hit with your LO?</p> <p>[attach=1790/12/me9cbp.338x600.2012-11-29_09-16-45_500.jpg] </p>
