I wasn't sure what to call this. The name "junk ball" kept coming to my head. I saw this idea
here. Once again I was packing and needed something to keep the boys busy and out of the way (that sounds horrible doesn't it). Well, I had seen this idea and happened to be throwing away three empty jug-type containers and thought I would hurry and whip them out. They were fast, though not as cute as the place I got them from. I just cleaned them, cut off the bottom and duct taped them since the edges had some sharp parts on them.
This is what they looked like and they kept the boys' attention for a long time. Perfect.
Palmer was so excited to play with them that he ran out of the house with ONE shoe on. We had just bought new socks so he was sent back again quickly (am I the only one that has kids who go through socks at lightening speed? We are ALWAYS out of socks!)
It was fun to see the boys toss the tennis ball around and these are pretty easy for little hands to use. Not too much coordination required.
Happy boys, happy mom.

Hang onto those jugs!! We made those for a family camping activity a few years ago and they were a HIT! :) My kids loved playing catch with the jugs -- so fun!
They definitely were fun! My boys loved them too. I am hoping that we get a lot of use out of them.
