My daughter is one now, and she loves to get new toys! She’ll play with the boxes and wrapping paper for hours and hours. Sometimes, she even plays with the toys. Toys you say….yes, toys, you know the brightly coloured plastic doodads that seem to come with all those really expensive boxes your kid loves.
With a one year old exploring the world around her, the most apparent thing is she has an eye for the new. Put something new in a room, no matter where, and as soon as she enters, she’ll crawl over to it without fail. I swear she has ESP. Anyway, given that kids love new things, and given that there is a limit to the number of new toys you can buy without actually going into crippling debt, or buying out the ELC, I thought I would set up this blog – cheap toys for kids. Hopefully it will be a place to share ideas….how to create toys for your kids from everyday objects, how to use the toys you have in new and interesting ways to keep your tot entertained. I’ll share some of the ideas my wife and I have come up with. If you have any of your own, feel free to share them with me and I’ll be happy to post them up on the blog!
