When I was a kid I remember my dad would make a toy for me using a button & a string.
You'd pull on the string & the button would move back and forth rapidly making a swishing
noise. He also used to fold a hankerchief into what looked like a baby in a cradle, he used
to do that in church to help keep me quiet. Yesterday I took some burgandy ribbon I got
at a thrift store recently, cut it into strands and tied the strands together in the middle.
Marcel had more fun with that silly thing. I know when my brother was little his favorite toy
was pots and pans or an empty box. I think sometimes the best toy is what that costs a few
cents or is even free. Socks! Marcel loves socks. Im wondering what back to basic cheap toys
your kids enjoy?

Wyatt likes clear plastic bottles and containers. He enjoys water play. Also free grocery store balloons. The cat's toys--colorful fur/feathers attached to string. The cat gets excited, too. Underwear drawers. Cheap clearance holiday ribbon. Coins to throw and put in coin banks.

Sounds familiar lol!! Only we couldnt have a cat.
When we adopted Elsie the first thing they told us
is she doesnt like cats or any other animal for that
matter lol. I remind her all the time that mommy is

Michael loves shoe laces. I only have one pair of shoes that he has not destroyed. And that is because he is too afraid of Mommy Wrath now. He also loves belts or ropes. I am always trying to keep him from wrapping it around his neck.
A strip of fun fur about 2
A strip of fun fur about 2 to 3 inches wide and about 8 inches long (sewn onto a leather or other heavier backing fabric) with eyes sewn at one end makes a great "pet." Stroking the fur will make the strip wiggle up and down - my son loved this as a little kid.
I forgot to say that the
I forgot to say that the leatherish backing needs to have some grippiness to it - kinda like side of a sheepskin coat that doesn't have the wool on it. Probably the real old ones were made from real furs with the underside just left as the roughly dressed hide.
Anyway, that's how the "worm" grips a flat surface (like a table) so that the pulling action on the fur being stroked makes the strip lift and fall like a worm moving.
