Toy Thursday #3 - The Ball Pit


Today is Thursday and that means a new toy!

Toy Thursday is all about a toy or piece of equipment my wife and I have found useful.  Again, I can't guarantee your results will be exactly the same, I'm just throwing out an opinion and what has worked for us.  I'm pretty sure that one of every kid's first words is "ball."  Once they learn this word they say it over and over and over.  I'm not sure what it is about this spherical shape, but kids love it.  Pretty early on in Kaylee's life we got her a bunch of the little round plastic Ball Pit Balls.  There are about a hundred different options of these, but here is what one such set would look like:



We even found her a Disney Princess Ball Pit to put those balls in.  I have never seen a kid so happy before in my life.  Of course, there are all sorts of different kinds of ball pits, they don't all have to look like this:




The ball pit is both a blessing and a curse.  My daughter loves it and will hide her other toys in it.  She will play with all the balls, and we play catch with her.  The downside you ask?  You find these plastic balls everywhere... under the couch, under the TV, under the bed, in your drawers, etc.  The overall fun we have though is worth it.


That's all for now!

Be looking out for the next adventure this upcoming Tuesday...
