Homemade Toys

Did you play with homemade toys as a kid? Did you make toys or buy handcrafted toys for your kids? What kind of toys were homemade?

I had the Sunshine Family, and all of their stuff came with projects to make on your own (e.g. a bed made out of a tissue box, something with clothspins (), etc...).

I also had a tiny loom that I used to make a couple of hot pads.

The kids absolutely love the cardboard tubes from paper towels and toilet paper. They are their telescopes.

When ds was a baby, I used those small bottles of flouride water and put water with glitter or beads or stuff in them and glued the lids on. He really liked those as rattles and such.

He also likes to play with bungee cords, using them as fishing poles or to make a tail or to trap me or his dad, etc.

He also likes to use those funnels that you use to put oil in a car (clean, of course!) as a trumpet.

So, I don't make that many toys for him, but he likes to play with non-toys.

We do like to do fabric crafts together though (me doing it, him watching ). I need to post pics of these cute shirts I made for him and dh for Father's Day.
