A few of these are probably more suited to bigger kids a some could be used for new borns.

Good for extra hanging space in the nursery. Or position over a cot, bouncer or bassinet to hang soft toys or a mobile.

Mobiles made out of anything.

Storage/ toy boxes.

Folding black board.

Car track.

Toy trolley.

I forgot to add cut up pieces of wood into blocks and different shapes and paint them different colours.

Love the simplicity of these toys @robchin and can imagine making something similar this year. The ones using small branches remind me of a 'bridge' my friend and I made in primary school. We collected many straight sticks, cleaned them up and sawed them even about 30cm long. Then we hand-drilled holes at the end of each stick and threaded them all together to form our flexible bridge. It was quite a task and one we were proud of. It got used in so many different ways. From a bridge to a dam to a stunt jump on our extensive downhill marble runs. Thanks for jogging my memory. I think I'll design something using the same idea and turn it on the lathe. Cheers, Al
