I have a hard time parting with magazines. There’s alway “one little thing” I want to save them for. I have an ever growing stack that I hate to part with because I might someday want to resource that “one” article that I really liked. As though I will ever be able to find “that”particular article in “that” particular magazine again. That’s if I should even manage to find the time to actually look! Yet, I can’t throw them out. Anyone relate? Well look no further. I have found a use for them :) Baby Play!!
It was completely by accident that hubby discovered Mr C’s love for periodicals. See, I left the munchkin man with hubs one evening while I went out to run a few errands. When I came back hubby was so proud he had found a new something to entertain the babe! Great idea hubs! (between you and me I just wish it hadn’t been the one magazine that just came in the mail that I hadn’t read yet) Anyway, gotta give the hubby credit for being resourceful. And since he claimed its worked so well I decided to see for myself the next morning over coffee. So I sat down, coffee in hand, and gave the little guy a (already read) magazine. Sure enough…loads of fun and entertainment. So much so that I HAD to put the coffee down and take a few pictures to share with you! The babycakes played for quite some time.
Ripping pages…
Looking at baby faces…
Kissing baby faces, awww…
Pushing it around on the floor…
That magazine entertained him long enough for me to take a few pictures AND drink some coffee. He had all sorts of fun! He loved the crinkly sound the pages made when he crumpled them (and he seemed to get great satisfaction out of tearing them). He loved madly waving the magazine around and watching the pages flap, and he especially LOVED looking at all the baby faces.
This one was quite a win. We found a use for that old pile of magazines, the little guy is entertained for a good chunk of time, and… once he destroys a magazine, I have no problem tossing it into the recycling bin!
