Thingy Basket

So when I want to get on the computer during the day or I'm trying to get ready, and baby isn't napping, I try to find him something to keep him occupied. He is slowly loosing interest in his exersaucer. I occasionally check this web site for great ideas. So when I saw the post about the thingy basket, I was excited to make Joseph one! I of course cleaned every item I found for it and he always plays with it supervised. Here is what our thingy basket includes:
toothbrush
flashlight
2 sets of keys
rosary made of rope
yarn
pool ball
a patch
hair comb
old phone
broken baby monitor (like a walkie talkie)
photo album with family/friends pics
empty oatmeal cylinder
sometimes our nice camera case makes it in the basket because he loves the zippers
