In reply to Stacey. I don't recommend allowing him to plug in the power cords. It will not discourage his curiosity if you acknowledge nonjudgmentally, "You really want to experiment with the power cord, but I can't let you. That isn't safe." I would be very clear and confident about setting these reasonable limits. Children don't need free rein to do everything they want to do.

My 15 month old son loves cleaning and doing everything we do (obviously :)) Cloths, brooms, brushes are his favorite ‘toys’!
It is such a joy to watch him practice these skills with such determination! His latest interest is power cords.. He wants to plug them in the way he has obviously seen us do it.. I’m not really sure how to handle this as I don’t want to stop his curiosity?! (all plug sockets that aren’t being used are sealed) I thought of putting out an adapter that he can explore but I have a good feeling he will still want to use the real deal. 🙂 Any thoughts?

I am looking for basic blocks for my son to play with, nothing fancy, just to help him learn to stack, etc….is there something you recommend for this?

my infant room is stocked with these types of objects and is empty for the summer….2’s,3’s and even 4’s and 5’s have used the room on rainy days and been totally engaged…

Oh! these are wonderful! I was given a set of tea samples at Christmas that came in perfect, 1.5 inch diameter tins with screw-on tops. As I’ve finished the tea, I keep adding the tins to my daughter’s shelf in the playroom. They are by far her favourite item of exploration at the moment! I love the rest of these non-toy ideas too. My husband and I always joke that our children never play with toys 😉

For our girl, the most surprising favorite has been masking tape. It’s easily removed but seems to satisfy her desire to build big. spider webs, bridges, hinges, books to name just a few. When she was 1 1/2 or so she would ask for a series of strips trimmed for her but once she started using scissors it’s something she can do on her own.

Way a great post! I love reading about how to provide my daughter with new toys I had not yet thought of giving her. She is almost one year old, and right now some of the things I give her to play with are: wooden spoons, toilet paper rolls, pieces of paper or card stock, lemons or limes, mixing bowls, Tupperware containers, small cloth bags, pieces of felt, etc. I just purchased the jars and I am interested in seeing how she plays with them. Thank you again!
