These would be fun experiments. I especially like the idea of playing with changing your voice.

Hehe I actually winced when I saw the peg on Molly’s nose!

What’s the saying? “No children were harmed in the making of this post.”
I do try things out before getting the kids to do anything, it’s a nice soft peg 😀 But they love doing things like that and talking, it causes screams of hysterics. I should dig out some of the photos of Molly with 20 pegs in her hair!

My 2 y.o. has started using the shakers (plastic medicine containers) as drums, and maracas as drum sticks – and we march around the house!!! It’s loud but so much fun! I’ll try making a guitar tomorrow – but being a boy there aren’t many hair elastics around…rubber bands instead maybe?

Rubber bands would work well. The advantage of hair elastics are that there are so many different types, but you can get multi-size packs of rubber bands as well. I sometimes think there’s a direct relationship between noise and fun for kids!

Great article! Baby girl here gets bored with her toys very quickly and I was contemplating making another run for toys (otherwise known here as plastic cr*p from China) but this should keep us going for at least a week. I try to lighten our environmental footprint where I can and this blog is an inspiration to me as I’m clueless about 1)science stuff and 2) crafty stuff so struggle to think of fun, green things to do that also entertain bub and stimulate that growing brain. Thanks Deb!

Thankyou for such a lovely comment! I admit I often feel I’m drowning under all the girls things. Writing this blog is great for me too, because it means I have to try at least one new activity every week. We haven’t been able to get stuck in that rut since I started. Plus the girls both adore cameras!
