A big hit since Christmas has been our ball pit in the basement. I had this idea a long time ago thinking it would be a great distraction during the winter months for both kids. Andy helped me get it all ready by cleaning out our small outdoor pool and I filled it with bags of plastic balls found at Target.
Marie loves to hide small toys and puzzle pieces in the pit and see how fast we can find them. Bennett loves to kick his legs to make the balls noisy and bounce all over the place. Definitely a boy vs. girl way of playing, don't you think?
Yes the balls spend more time out of the pit than in, but that is nothing a quick game of "Let's see how many balls we can throw into the pit at once" can't fix.
Marie also loves to sit in the ball pit with Bennett and force him to listen to princess stories...he tolerates while trying to eat the book.
