Baby toys are expensive and unnecessary most of the time.
The Unclutterer blog has a couple of great articles on baby toys...
Paint brush and water: paint
the sidewalk or fence with a paintbrush and small bucket of water.
Your little one could easily spend a half an hour painting, and there is no mess to clean up.
Laundry time: Little ones love to help with sorting laundry.
Ask them to match up all the socks!
The blog comments section produced lots of more great ideas:
Finger painting with pudding, play with dried rice, treasure hunts, pots and pans, cardboard boxes, shaving cream and cornmeal, toilet paper tubes, a shovel, a hose and a pile of dirt, sheets, and so much more.

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
