This week, my two year old son grew an attachment to a certain keyboard toy that plays demo tunes. It was cute to begin with, but when I’ve heard the demo tune on repeat for the zillionth time before lunch, I just want to take out the batteries. Then I realise, there’s a cupboard full of other musical toys that don’t require batteries. Oh well, at least those don’t have demo tunes.

 
Here’s this week’s Instagram.

 
In a world filled with lights and sounds galore, it is nice to embrace a world where no batteries are required; even if it is only for awhile.

 
Here are some other no batteries required plays from last week’s weekly Kids’ Co-op:

• Play bandages (made out of felt and optional velcro) by Pen Pals & Picture Books.
• Loose parts play with pipe cleaners by The Fairy and the Frog.
• Scrap Paper Dolls by A Happy Song.
