Here they are, folks! The long-awaited list of toys you wouldn't think would be great toys!
In the category of toys that work for ages far younger than you would believe, we have:
Mylar Balloons!
That's right, at 4 months of age, and babies just barely able to grasp things, those strings are fascinating and, when pulled, make the balloons jump. Great fun!
In the category of toys you can't get away from, we have:
Mama's Sweatshirt Strings!
If you're short on money and patience, that's okay. Put on a sweatshirt and hold your little 6 month-old. You may choke a little when the strings are pulled tight, but at least baby's happy!
In the category of toys you never would have thought of as a toy period, we have:
A Toothbrush!
Either in the package or out of it, this little toy is easy to grasp, has fun textures, and provides hours and hours of entertainment, and you can feel very good about going into Baby's mouth.
Stay tuned for more "Unlikely Toys"!

Of course, being the good mother you are, you never leave her alone with these things, which could choke or strangle her.
I just love the stage where they pull all the strings.
True story: when I tried to get Taven to go to Sunbeams, he grabbed the front of my dress, and it being knit, I was pretty well exposed!
Such is the life of grandparents.
WV: prekies: a cross between a pekingese and a Star Trek fan?
LOL, Our grandson Nathan's (7 months at Christmas) favorite "toy" at Christmas was the paper and boxes!!!
Haha! You are so creative :) That's the Chelsea I know. Thanks for your sweet encouraging comments on my blog, it's so fun to see that you are reading. I'll keep the unlikely toys ideas upstairs for when I need a quick distraction - actually, balloons are STILL fascinating to me :D
