Nine Ways Babies Can Put Laundry Baskets To Good Use

Has it ever crossed your mind that laundry baskets have endless possibilities to amuse babies and toddlers?

If a basket is placed upside down:

A table for snacking
A bench
A mountain to climb over (with a mat placed underneath)
A support for a little one to prop himself up with
A walker which can be pushed around

If a basket is placed upright:

A boat or a car
To place socks or doll clothing to play "Mommy"
To place toys to practice filling and emptying
A quiet place if we leave a cushion and a blanket inside

Storage:

Best of all, they can be stacked and the top one can be used for stuffed animals or other toys.
