Ball Pit

It looks like Chuck E Cheese's in our formal dining room - SO much fun!!! Walmart is having a sale on these and you to can have a beautiful dining room ball pit! Whatever makes my days easier and fun!!! Findley took a little convincing that this was a fun idea but he did eventually warm up to it! Brody was thrilled from the second he saw the balls in the store! He was at the front of the stroller and was kicking the balls in the bag hanging from my hand just going nuts talking and screaming at the sight of this new toy!! What a grip he has on these balls and a power wind up! Findley with a smile!!!
A while back when I was working as a pre-school teacher we had this cool pool filled up with beans - lots and lots and lots of beans! It was so fun and the kids LOVED it!!! Even the really little ones loved to sit, touch, pour,sort etc in this pool of beans. Sure, it took a watchful eye to keep them out of mouths but really there was so much other stuff to do with them it was rare that they would sit and eat them. Well, when Ainsley was little much to my husbands dislike I created a pool of beans for her to play in. She also loved this idea and we had it for several years. Well, the boys.....I don't think I can always be as watchful as they begin to spread out throughout the house and tag team me!!! So we went with these balls instead but they still loved it and played for quite a while!!!
