Make Your Own Homemade Toys
Cloth Dolls and Bears, Teething and Learning Toys, Wooden Toys and More!

Natural and homemade toys are ever in rising popularity. But they are not always easy to come by and expensive to boot.

Parents are reaching for natural and homemade baby toys in alternative to the plastic toys manufactured in outside countries being tested full of lead and toxins. And the toys they do not last! How often has a toy you've bought come out of the box half broken or falling apart within days? One sure fire way to control the lead content in the paint on your baby's toys is to pick out the paint yourself. Make your own baby toys!

You can make so many great homemade toys yourself for pennies on the dollar. And it's really fun too! And you'll be rewarded threefold for all your time and effort when your precious little one is just tickled pink by your creations!

We all know that when you give a baby a new toy to play with, they usually spend more time playing with the box it came in. Just this past Christmas my daughter was turning 1 year old two days after Christmas. She was spoiled with all kinds of expensive toys and gifts. And do you want to know what she did? She pushed them all aside and went crazy playing with the bows that came on the gift boxes! She made herself an entire collection of them and months later she was still playing with them. I can't say as much for the toys...

What does this tell us, as parents? Babies and small children like simple toys. Hand them a cup and a spoon and they will play happily for hours. Go and buy them the most expensive high-tech toy and they are bored with it in mere minutes.
