Talia's Nursing Basket

I made Talia a basket full of special things so that when I have to feed Milo or change him she has a few things to keep her occupied. I only use it a couple of times a day but it is great for those moments when she is feeling a little needy.

Here is what I did...

I used a gold christmas basket, black spray paint, puff balls & ribbon to decorate, and some pink fabric cardboard & batting to pad the bottom (all of these things I had on hand)
What little girl could resist a basket so fun and cute!?
Then I filled it with a few fun things just for Talia. A small dolly to love (with two homemade blankets), a microphone for singing, a drawing toy, water color pictures and water pen(roseart Aquapix), sippy cup, and some snacks. (I make sure the water and snacks are ready to go each night so if I need the basket first thing in the morning it is ready for me. In the future I will add to or change the toys as Talia's interests change to keep it exciting to her. Other ideas for toys to include in the basket are books, easy puzzles, cars, small bag of building toys etc. Really anything that your child is interested in would be perfect and it is important that the child can use the toys without much assistance.)
So all I spent was a little over $13.00 and some time with a glue gun for a lot of sanity and some fun for my sweet little girl.
