Very true indeed.

[????]

Brilliant.

I would add:

Bubble Wrap

Discarded wrapping paper from presents

to the list

[Helen GV]

My two like baby wipes, the youngest pulls them out in a frenzy if I let her and the oldest holds a couple in each hand and runs around shouting'i'm batman'

[Fuschia]

Kitchen roll

Toilet roll

Empty tubes

[Yak]

Water!

[Otta]

Empty shampoo bottles in the bath.

[Polly D]

A timely reminder pre Xmas madness!

Helen, oh how I wish it was possible to 'like' comments on here, ala Facebook. That is brilliant. My two also fond of baby wipes, or rather, the packets. Seb rubs them along the sofas and laughs at the sound, and Lex lies on her front, grabs them, stuff them in her mouth and looks VERY pleased with herself.

[Yak]

Oh and pots and pans and wooden spoons! Hours of endless fun. And that's just for me, not the yaklet...

[????]

and, how could I forget

"Poo"..... as in the real thing not the bear

[candj]

pulling tissues out of a box

ripping up inflight magazine

anything that makes crinkly noises

half empty water bottle (with lid on)

[Helen GV]

:))Ruth, the youngest also stuffs them in her mouth, they can't taste nice so don't know what's up with that!

The cardboard bit you pull out the tissue box when you open it....my two fight over it to draw on!!!

[Mellors]

"snipping" - pair of scissors + any magazine = hours of entertainment for my daughter.

They also fight over any bits of leftover wool from my knitting.

I used to use them as sliding skates when I was little. Cracking fun!
