Well i was going to suggest the rice shaker :P but lets see... -Fill an empty soft drink bottle with water and glitter...kinda like a snowglobe. -A formula can and wooden spoon used as a drum. -Using lids off emoty cans and bottles (shaving cream, hairspray etc) as stacking toys.

My kids love the lid from the pots and pans. I canned when the kids were babies and they like the jar rings tied together. also spare keys on a ring. They loved the paper and boxes. Get large boxez they can crawl in and out of. you can make a car out of cardboard boxes put paper plates for wheels. yoy can make a train wiith several boxes
