My parents brought over a bag of balls for an outside sand box to use this year instead of sand as Greyson wants to put everything in his mouth right now (7 months). It is still a little too cold to have him play for an extended period of time outside right now, so I thought I'd find a way for him to play with the balls inside. First we tried putting the balls in his pack n play. It worked okay, but he kept falling over when the balls moved out from underneath him and we couldn't play with him very well because we had to bend over and reach way down to play. Then I spotted a plastic tub that I had just bought for $7 to put some of Greyson's clothes he had outgrown into. I decided to put the balls in there and stick him in. He loved it! It was just big enough to sit and play in the balls, but small enough that he didn't fall over when the balls moved underneath him. What a great sensory experience!! We also tossed a few balls in a tent he likes to crawl around in and he will chase them around the floor of the tent. Hours of fun from balls and a storage tub!
