When it comes to toys for tots, those with lots of bells and whistles aren't always best.
My grandmother has a small ball of green yarn that keeps my kids completely occupied. They unroll it, toss it, use it to measure things and stretch it across the house. For about a buck, it buys us time to have an uninterrupted conversation. And, only calls for a quick clean-up of being wound back. To learn about another "toy" in my grandma's box, read more.
A stack of colorful cups made of a material that won't break, are perfect for stacking, sorting, and swapping. When wee ones are finished playing, they can help you give the cups a suds wash before using them for drinking.

1Great ideas!
2I always gave my boys my keys or a hair brush and that would always keep them pacified for awhile...lol. I like the ball of yarn idea though!
3My kids have sooo many toys and yet the their favorite things to play with are a blanket and a laundry basket.
4Just be careful that the yarn doesn't get wrapped around their necks!!
