Pots and Pans Play

Green Play Ideas

There are plenty of things you already have in your home that make great baby toys.

  • Try setting out your POTS AND PANS to stack inside each other and bang on. 
  • MEASURING SPOONS make a great clanging toy to dangle over baby and also to let baby hold onto and try to fit their tongues on. 
  • The classic EMPTY BOX is a great example of a toy that every one laughs about as the real present baby wants to play with. 
  • EMPTY HUMMUS AND SALSA CONTAINERS make great bath time toys to fill and pour out water. 
  • A LAUNDRY BASKET or LARGE BROWN BOX is a fun toy baby can climb in to if it is on its side or hide under/behind etc.

 

There's Lots That I Can Do - Kathleen Harte

I may not be a grown-up but there's lots that I can do.
I'm very good at hide-and-seek and great at peekaboo.
I'm good at taking notice of a lot that grown-ups miss
Like things to touch, and things to smell, and things to squash and squish.
I'm good at building castles in the sand down by the beach
And each day I get bigger- there are more things I can reach.
I'm good at finding places for my friends and me to sit
To sing a song, or read a book, where grown-ups wouldn't fit.
I'm good at drinking apple juice right from a grown-up cup
And when I sometimes spill a bit, I'm good at cleaning up.
I'm good at swinging on the swings they have down at the park
And I can catch the fireflies that come out after dark.
I'm good at helping dress myself and choosing what I wear
And when it's time to get my shoes I always find a pair.
I'm good at playing dress-up and I'm great at let's pretend
And sometimes I am even good at sharing with a friend.
I'm good at doing certain things I don't think grown-ups could
I'm even good at doing things they might not think I should.
So though I won't be grown-up for a long, long time it's true
That's ok because for now- there's lots that I can do!
