Now that he's older he found on Youtube videos of people opening up Easter eggs to see the prizes inside. They do little reviews on them and he just loves watching it. Not sure why?</p> <p>Another weird item my LO liked when he was around 8mos was the edge pieces off the foam puzzle mats in the playroom. He would pull them off and chew on them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-that-arent-really-toys#post-2147705 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 12:51:57 +0000 HazelEyes 2147705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J's favorite toy right now (12.5 mos) is a wooden spoon. Loves it. Sometimes he "stirs" a metal bowl--fun sound! -- but sometimes he just carries it around.</p> <p>He is also very excited about an old plastic colander and remote controls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-that-arent-really-toys#post-2147681 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 12:29:02 +0000 lady grey 2147681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any kind of container with a lid or cap. Especially twist on caps. He will spend forever twisting the cap on and off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-toys-that-arent-really-toys#post-2147523 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 10:24:06 +0000 Mommy Finger 2147523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS loves any sort of whisk.
