Garbage toys
I love that my one year is daily excited over garbage. Today it is a used Gatorade bottle. The lid screws on, the lid screws off. You can put a straw in it. Or little blocks in it. Or clothespins in it. You can suck on the lid and make mom say NO. You can screw the lid on and make mom say Yes. Garbage toys. They are cheap and happy distractions. Try them today. Empty egg cartons, cereal boxes, mushroom containers, water bottles, toothpaste boxes, toilet paper rolls, lotion bottles.....the possibilites are endless. What are you childrens favorite non-toy items? Tupperware wins hands down in our house. Have fun. May, we as adults find such joy in the garbage of life.

You are so right! Garbage toys! We have TONS of fun, bright, exciting toys. Asa's favorite...a maxwell house coffee can..his drum. Who would've thought?
Any kind of boxes. Big boxes that you can climb into or hide in, to little tiny boxes (eyeshadow) that you can open, close, hide raisins in, reopen....
Any kind of box wins in our house.
Isaac gravitates toward garbage as well. When we got our dog we were told that we'd have to be careful because he'd always be digging in the garbage can. Nope. It's Isaac that we have to be careful of. :)
