My daughter is 2 and still a bit young but I think by age 3 they should be able to do these pretty independently </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1440452 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 11:23:47 +0000 regberadaisy 1440452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: cute!! Thanks! I think I'm going to get the farm one because they have a 90 something acre farm!<br /> <a href="http://amzn.com/B000O7ITZM" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.com/B000O7ITZM</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1440439 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 11:20:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1440439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: <a href="http://amzn.com/B000O7ISY4" rel="nofollow">http://amzn.com/B000O7ISY4</a> </p> <p>Those cards with holes around the edges and the kids lace string through the holes. Its a good quiet activity. Lots of people throw them in their diaper bag for older kids to play with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1440354 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 10:54:47 +0000 regberadaisy 1440354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: oh great call, I forgot all about color wonder!</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: what are lacing cards?</p> <p>@matador84: @cmomma17: good idea on reusable stickers. I def want self contained items that won't require her to clean up afterwards and can be done independently without (much) assistance.</p> <p>@Cole: oh, love the idea of the magnetic game. Do you have a link for example? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1440008 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 09:35:36 +0000 Cole 1440008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a magnetic game/scene? I have seen paper doll versions and under the sea versions where they can set up the magnets on the magnetic background and then the whole thing closes up.</p> <p>Another idea if you are so inclined would be to get some cute index cards and write various ideas on them- think car game style ideas like rhyming games or giving the toddler funny tasks like find three red things, hop on one foot, spin around ten times. </p> <p>A puzzle might be good too, I can usually give verbal help to them at that age with puzzles if they need it but they can otherwise be independent. </p> <p>Oh and a maze book, maybe one of those wipe off ones.</p> <p>Great idea, I bet she will love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1439941 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 09:11:53 +0000 cmomma17 1439941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe instead of stickers they could stick all over the place, one of those books with reusable stickers?</p> <p>I'd think of things that were very self contained. Some kind of handheld game? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1439937 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 09:10:31 +0000 matador84 1439937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bet the Melissa and Doug stick on sticker reusable things would be fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1439902 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 09:00:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1439902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lacing cards? Flash cards? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1439896 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 08:58:45 +0000 sotofamilia 1439896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a genius idea! I'll be reading along for ideas for myself in a couple of years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1439890 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 08:57:47 +0000 looch 1439890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Color wonder stuff is great, it can only color on the special paper. My son is totally into it because it's something different than crayons.</p> <p>Play dough is great, but super messy, but I am okay with playing with that in the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1439851 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 08:47:54 +0000 regberadaisy 1439851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: LOL! Slightly out of budget! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1439847 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 08:45:56 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1439847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An iPad. Hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursingwhiney-box#post-1439842 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 08:44:43 +0000 regberadaisy 1439842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to get a 2nd time mom and her toddler a gift when we go visit. A mom friend suggested a nursing/whiney box for the toddler that gets pulled out only while mom is trying to nurse the new baby.</p> <p>I think it's a wonderful idea!</p> <p>If you have something similar what goes in it? If you don't, what do you think would be good items for it?<br /> Her toddler just turned 3 so I'm thinking maybe a coloring book with crayons, stickers, small puzzles?</p> <p>Any ideas for a cute sign on the box? I'm thinking a big red stop sign with the following note:<br /> Nursing/Whiney Box<br /> Use only during dire circumstances when toddler won't let you nurse baby!!! </p>
