Box of Tricks

Now that Miss H is crawling nothing is safe. She is in to EVERYTHING! One of her favourite areas of discovery has been the kitchen bins. The general rubbish bin is stainless steel so Miss H enjoys looking at her reflection in it. The recycling bin is different as it is a box on the ground. As you can imagine there are all sorts of treasures in there from cardboard rolls, crinkly paper, jars and plenty of other interesting stuff but most of it just isn't safe. After a week of chasing her away from it Daddy came up with a fantastic idea.....

Miss H needs to explore the world around her so rather than stopping her all together we have put the recycling box up high and created a box of tricks of her own. The good thing is we can vary the items inside and keep them safe for her to discover. For now it contains some plastic kitchen items and toys to keep her amused. Each day will be a new discovery.

Baby on the Go

It's funny how one day you have a little baby who is happy to sit and play and then the next day they're off and scooting round the floor on their tummy. Miss H is doing just that so it's time to create some things for her to explore!

We have a sheet of thick clear plastic on the floor in the study/ playroom. It's job is to protect the floorboards from our office roller chair since we happen to live in a rental property. This plastic is great for all sorts of games for Miss M (which I will share with you later) but this time round it is Miss H's turn.

Have you ever noticed how much little bubs love to see other bubs? It seems to bring a smile to their face. Yesterday I flicked through some magazines to find pictures of baby faces with lots of different expressions. I cut them out and placed them under the plastic for Miss H to discover. I'll enjoy watching to see if they'll bring many a smile to her own cute little baby face.
