Just had this idea today! I have a 2 year old who just loves getting into shit. So I came up with a way to satisfy that urge without her wrecking anything. I filled a diaper box full of random stuff (examples: a pack of fruit snacks, a random chip clip, a sparkly hair bow, a few cotton balls, a wine cork, a mini colored plastic cup, a bag with a few stickers, etc.) Adjust to age and just walk around your house putting stuff that is usually not within their reach but totally safe to play with in the box until it's full and hand the box to your kid. If they don't know how to open the lid of the diaper box, do it for them so they can pull out one toy at a time. I've found it helps my kid stay entertained by each individual thing longer and it feels like opening a present! Totally worked to buy me like 45 quiet minutes so give it a try! via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2cL0jOt
