Olivia loves her food and is sometimes a little impatient whilst I am serving up or waiting for it to cool down. So I have a special box of treasures to help me out! Every time she sits in her high chair I leave her with this box of goodies whilst I do my mummy chores! I have time to serve up and prepare what I need to. Although I do take the toys away when feeding . Afterwards she gets them back whilst I clear up! I think this idea works better than one single toy as she has something to delve into! Babies love that! And just for the safety bits….. Never leave your child alone in her highchair!
Lovely blog, and great advice re having a box of tricks handy when you’re getting your little one’s dinner ready. When my kids were little, I used to keep a box containing books, toys etc too. But they also really enjoyed a simple set of measuring spoons or stackable measuring cups.. And of course they love just sitting and watching you bustling about too..
