Switching Out Soft Blocks and Keys

With a low budget when Lily was born and misguided about all fabric as a "natural" choice, many items ended up in Lily's toy box.  Today, we swapped out our Ikea building blocks for Apple Park organic soft blocks.  I really love the look and feel of the Apple Park blocks.  They are soft with different textures on them.  They each make a different noise.  A bell, a rattle, and a squeaker!

Additionally, there are some things that are impossible to keep away from her.  My car keys, the television remote control, any spoon, etc.  So, today, I hung some wooden teether keys on the key rack, hoping we'd be able to offer her those when we walk by instead of the car keys.  They were much bigger than I hoped, but they strung up together well.  They even make noise when shaken, which is part of the allure of car keys.  And, she loves to put them in her mouth!
