Wifely Steps

Putting together a toy box in two easy steps:

Step 1: Find a colorful box at home. Clean it well. A box with an attached lid is preferable, so it doesn’t go flying off when baby opens it.

Step 2: Fill with baby’s toys. Done!

This box is fun because it’s colorful, portable and can be filled with handy toys. In Timmy’s toy box are two small books perfect for his small hands, a coaster, some balls, a few blocks, a toy apple, and a taggie blanket from my friend J. Ana.

He has a bunch more toys outside of this box, but what draws him to this one is the open-close magic it brings. It’s easy to open using his tiny hands, and colorful toys welcome him as he digs into the box eagerly. It keeps him busy before he moves to other toys in the house.

I think it’s the box that fascinates him. He seems fascinated by how a container can hold so many goodies. I’m fascinated that he’s fascinated!

The box also helps manage clutter. Instead of the handy toys all over the place, they’re all placed in one box.

See, it’s as easy as 1, 2! There’s not even a 3!
