Today I'm going to show you how to make some cheap or maybe even free fun toys for your toddler that are super easy to put together. The first epiphany I ever had about how cheap and easy it can be to keep a toddler amused and engaged, learning, and having fun was when I was about 12 and I was babysitting a neighbor. As the mother was leaving she said “if she gets really bored or cranky just open up the Tupperware drawer and let her play in it.” I thought “well OK that's weird” But then I did it and she just played you know taking lids off, putting them on, stacking them having all sorts of things. Since then I have become a firm believer in using what you have at home and getting simple objects to keep your child happy and entertained. With this in mind, I decided to take you along with me as I put together some Montessori style developmental aids or toys for eye-hand coordination using things I got from a second-hand store, in this case, Goodwill. You might even have these items already at home so you could do it for free but the idea isn't for you to just copy what up I have but rather to show you the thought process. I aim to show you how to just look at the items you already have and put together engaging materials for your child. You can do it yourself! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this video.
