What do you do Wednesdays - Unconventional Toys

This is a new post that I will start doing on Wednesdays address some common everyday Mommy issues. Why? Because in this adventure of being a Mommy, there are so many things that just seem to big for me to tackle. I am always searching for new ways to look at things, try new ideas, or just get plain old good advice.

If you would like to join me, please post about the same problem/issue/helpful advice that is on topic for the day. Put a link to my blog inside that post (please be nice and tell where you got the idea and it will also allow others to come here and do the same). Then, come back here and leave a comment. I will then put a link to your blog inside my post. If you are not a blogger, leave a comment with your thoughts. I hope to have Mr. Linky up soon!

Today's Question:

What Unconventional Toys do you have for your Baby/Toddler?

As a mom of three, my house has more than it's fair share of toys. The favorite of my seven month old? A set of measuring spoons. Yep, an inexpensive set of plastic measuring spoons bring so much joy! They provide an interesting sound when shaken, are easy for her little hands to grasp and hold on to, and they are great for chewing on. And, they are so easy to clean, just toss in the dishwater each evening, unlike the cloth toys that contain rattles which can hold germs for a long time.

If you decide to treat your little one to a set of spoons, be sure to get plastic ones that are on a solid ring to hold them all together. Also, look for ones that might have texture and bright colors on them for an added bonus. My set have a little rubber section on them.
