Children could find anything to play with to keep themselves entertained. They occupy their time with things that we would never think of as a toy. You never know what is going to interest your little one. Some things they will pass up and others will capture their curiosity and they want to see how it works, and why it does that, and if they can make it do something else. Pots, pans, empty boxes, broom, under the table for a cave are some of the more common things and generally safe. Its really fun to watch how their growing personality draws them to certain things. Very cute but could also be very dangerous. My 2 year old’s new thing is floss. He likes to wrap it around the chair legs. He says “it’s cute!” As he is ‘decorating’ all I can think of is how did he get that again and how dangerous it is, and why won’t he play with his toys. If your child is interested in something that poses a danger, introduce them to something else that is similar and safe. Be sure to tell them. You could say something like, “The floss is not a toy and its dangerous. You can play with this wash towel instead. (help mommy clean at the same time) ;> Babies love plastic and paper bags mostly kids like them because of the sound they make. But 8 times out of 10 they will also see how it can fit over their head. In this case you need you can get a toy that makes similar sounds.
Here are some examples
~ When they want to climb on an unstable toy to see on top of the table, give them a chair.
~ Instead of having a ball in the house that they can throw and break something, give them a balloon.
