DIY Ball Pit

While doing some last minute holiday shopping in Target the other day I was inspired by a bag of balls.

I had seen lots of DIY ball pit options on Pinterest so I thought it would be fun to create our own little “city living version” of the classic ball pit.

Since we don’t have a crazy amount of room in our home for lots of bigger toys, we have to get a little creative when living in the city & keeping my little man entertained {which is tough as the weather gets really cold & we can’t be outside as much!} So I picked up the last little bag of balls {only $14 for a bag of 150 – I thought it was a pretty good deal!} and went home to have some fun.

Little man is at the perfect age for this kind of play. He loves to kick around in the basket & throw the balls all over the place. Brooks knocks the balls together and has a ball playing in the ball pit! We also borrowed a play yard {aka – baby jail} from a friend and it’s fun to toss the balls in there as well, to keep them a little more contained!

Here’s how you can make you own {just in case you haven’t figured it out on your own!} 🙂

What You Will Need:

a baby

a bag of balls

a old laundry basket

a glass of wine {optional}

How To:

• Put the bag of balls in the old laundry basket {or play yard}. Add baby.
• Now sit back, relax and put your feet up!

Because this ball pit provides endless entertainment. Trust.

And because a ball pit makes everything awesome, no matter what age!

Next on the agenda, teaching little man to clean up all the 150 balls after flinging them all around the room!
