Stacking (and knocking down) Cups

Stacking (and knocking down) Cups! I love using household items and recyclables for play, it is such a great way to extend play without needing to buy tons of toys! Look around your house for cups like these silicone baking cups, recycled applesauce or fruit cups, or small tupperware containers. I love the silicone baking cups because they are colorful and great for chewing! Babies usually can't stack yet, but I stack the cups for Norah and she loves knocking them down! If your older baby or toddler can stack let them go at it themselves! The baking cups can be tricky to stack, but it may prove a good challenge for your toddler.

This hack is simple but can do the trick when you are searching for something to keep baby occupied. This hack is aimed towards babies who can grab items, sitting or on their tummies, and up.

P.s. I also like to use silicone baking cups as bath toys!
