Homemade Baby Toys

Below are some homemade baby toys that your baby will love and will go easy on the pocket book.

It's really not much use buying a baby a toy from the department store. The box will always end up stealing the show for you child. So if you like saving money and enjoy making things, take a look at these homemade baby toys.

Rice rattles

Place a handful of rice or pebbles inside a small plastic bottle or container. Secure the lid tightly and you have the perfect rattle. However, be sure to remove this toy once you child is capable of taking lids off.

Baby Mobiles

Mobiles are an easy toy that your baby is sure to be amused with. Decorate a coat hanger with various objects. This can be strips of fabric, soft small toys, strips of crepe paper, cut-out shapes, or anything you find interesting. Hang your mobile over baby's cot and safely out of reach.

Drums

Cans can be easily converted into your baby's first set of drums. A formula or coffee can would work perfect. You can provide a stick from a chopstick, unsharpened pencil, or something similar to lightly beat on the drum.

Sock Balls

Make a ball for your baby by rolling together a clean pair of socks into itself.

Stacking Toys

Save all of your empty lids, cereal and oatmeal boxes, and foam cups. These can be used to make various creations once your baby is at a sitting up age.
