Simon is a big boy, and as I mentioned, he’s a climber.
I thought I had created a safe place for him to explore by closing all the doors to the kitchen and family room (and of course child-proofing those kitchen cabinets.)
Until he started climbing everywhere.
He’s on the coffee table.
He’s sitting on my computer.
He’s attempting to scale the bookshelves.
Last week I found him sitting on the kitchen table – very proud of himself.
And there are times when I need to use the bathroom or the stove or grab something from the basement, and I no longer feel like there’s a safe place for him to be when I’m not directly supervising him.
Which is why I was so glad to find this idea to make your own ball pitt.
I added our ball pit balls to the pack n’ play – and Simon is in heaven.
And best of all – I know he’s safe when I’m going to the bathroom.

I wish I’d known about this when the twins were a little smaller and not big enough to crush the Pack N’ Play. What a great idea! Definitely doing this with the new baby…after it develops motor skills and such.

When i saw your link to this post on facebook I thought of ‘go potty’ in a way we sometimes use that term here in the UK – meaning ‘go mad!’.
So it took me few seconds to get my head around where you were really heading with this post!

Oh my gosh this is a great idea, thank you! My baby is still a bit too small for it, but I am so doing this in a few months for her.
this is such a good idea. although i have a feeling that otto would end up in there with selma….does alice (or miles!) ever try to climb in too?
Where do you get the balls? Um, that isn’t a double entendre either. I meant where to buy them…ugh. I can’t write balls without giggling. I’m sorry.
I wonder if this can be a good idea for me.. Anyway, it looks like unique one so thanks for the help!

Hmmm, the ball pit. REmember how the floor was ALWAYS wet under all of those balls? Why did we think they were the coolest things??? And why were they always wet? Who was peeing in the ball pit? I always hear that’s what everyone did. REALLY??????

Love this idea! Approx how many do you have? I’m looking and they seem to come in bags of 100, should one be enough or two?
