Before Norah was even born I heard a fantastic idea to take a pack and play and put some ball pit balls in it as a way to create your own ball pit at home without having the buy the actual ball pit. It seemed like a great idea! So as soon as Norah was sitting up on her own Santa brought her some ball pit balls to do this with. It didn't work out so well.
You see Norah and pack and plays do not mix so well as far as playing goes (and the jury is still out about sleeping in them). She didn't have very much fun with it and it just ended up taking up space in our office.
We got her a tiny blow up pool the other day and while she does enjoy splashing around in it I got an idea to give it a second use as a ball pit on those days when the weather isn't great out.
ohmyword. She loved it! She loved that she could climb in and out of it and play as she wished. She loved throwing the balls out so that she I could pick them up and put them back in. I used a blow up pool that cost $4.97 at walmart and the balls were somewhere in the $10-$15 range. MUCH cheaper than the pack and play route if you don't already have one.
