OK baby waxy hasnt shown much interest in toys yet, but given that she is only 9 weeks old this is no surprise. Anyway I have been looking at those tummy tub baths for babies like these -

but decided that they were a bit expensive for a tub so, we went to b&q and bought this

So given that i saved quite a few pounds on our super bucket. (It was 98p :thumbsup:)I though i would buy some rubber ducks. I picked some up in poundland and she has been hypnotised by them ever since. They are now hanging from a piece of string from the ceiling above her moses basket, Still in their net bag. :loopy: That has to be the cheapest baby entertainer ever apart from the legendery cardboard box.

My oldest was fasinated by orange peel :huh:. I think it shows a good imagination when they like different things :D

Creatively sensible purchases, waxonwaxoff. :thumbsup:

Thanks, we like our bucket. Its a lot less faffing then a baby bath lol. :hihi:

Make sure you take some pics of baby waxy in the bucket - you and her can have a good chuckle about it when she's older.

And don't forget to post them here!

In our household blank/duff DVDs are in abundance because my partner is a wedding videographer and bulk buys them at wholesale prices (literally pence per disc). Baby Alien has always been obsessed with them and loves them as mirrors/mobile etc. Now that he's 1 he's also taught himself how to put them in and out of the DVD player and Playstation, lol! He'll be putting his Teletubbies and Pingu DVDs on himself soon! :D

Our lad loves nothing better than some junk mail or an old (or even new and unread....grrrr) newspaper to rip up. I like cheap toys like this ;)

He also amused himself with a sliver of grated cheese the other day for a while, and he likes attacking my hand and laughs hysterically when I slap my fingers on the sofa in front of him! He likes 'junk' too, such as paper cups, old lids, toilet roll tubes and boxes.

We did exactly the same thing and used a B&Q Bucket!! Got some fantastic photos of him in it too!

so you would recommend this? i was looking into it and thought about just buying a bucket but couldnt find one wide enough!

we have a seat for the bath but means you have to fill the big bath for him which is such a waste of water.. i may pop along to B&Q later:hihi::hihi:

Definatley! The bucket was just nice size to make him feel secure, and for the length of time he was using it it wouldn't have been worth paying £20 odd quid for one of the proper baths.

Definatly do it. The b&q bucket is the perfect size and at 98p worth it even if you only use it to collect their mucky washing in. Its a lot less back ache then filling and emptying a baby bath and the slippery little buggers feel more secure. :hihi: Emily loves it in hers. Even the bigger ones can use it to bath in when we go camping if i forget the paddling pool lol. :D

I had a baby bath that fitted over the bath so no back break there. Got it out of a general auction. If you are looking for equipment an auction can be useful place as the bath cost £1. On the topic of peculiar toys my youngest was fond of a margerine tub lid for a while. Have no idea why he liked it.
