Now this is the project for anyone who claims they aren't crafty or have no free time. And from the name I think you can figure out it's inexpensive. I noticed how interested Serena was with the plastic bottles I usually chuck into the recycling bin, so I thought why not make one into something for her? Coincidentally the very day this occurred to me, I stumbled across the very thing at
Chasing Cheerios. Crafty moms think alike! I took a big ol' juice bottle and put in some pom poms, a big jingle bell and a couple giant pipe cleaners and screwed the cap on tight.
She can bat it around and roll it and see & hear all the fun stuff inside. I also love how the built in handle is easy for her to grab and to hang onto her playmat. Added bonus is being able to switch up the contents so it's always fresh & new. Obviously for safety purposes, this is for babies who can't unscrew a cap or gluing it on is a necessity. Cheap, a good way to "recycle" & fun for little ones. Trifecta of fun!!
