Would your child tidy up her/his toys after playing with them? Would he destroyed/torn apart the expensive toys after the initial excitement of new toys? Would you be surprised that children would play with the same “toys” over and over and knew exactly where to return them.
Many find it perplex that children are more engage with this simple “toys” than the colourful, expensive and sophisticated toys that available commercially.
I thought I will share some of these inexpensive “toys” that fascinated many children.
1) Stringing wooden beads
You can buy from the educational toy stores which costs a bomb, or you can do DIY.
(a) Buy some shoes lace.
(b) Buy some wooden beads (I bought from a sewing supplies shop, these are beads for curtains and lanterns)
2) connecting PVC pipes (No, you are not training your kids to be plumbers:-))
(a) several PVC pipes, have the hardware store cut into 1′ and 6″ lengths.
(b) 3 L-shaped connectors, one side has teeth to screw on
(c) 3 straight connectors, one side has teeth to screw on.
