In times of desperation, when nothing else seems to be working (not napping, not bouncing, not singing), sometimes a great toy can work wonders.
I will share one of the secrets of instant baby happiness: this toy. Which is the best toy ever.

Aw yes, the magical, magical keys! Used those just yesterday to entertain my friends 18 month old little man!
La clave está en la llave! Alice está preciosa…por cierto tiene una cara de “pillina” y traviesa increíble. Y que sonrisa….
Besos!!!
I got through years of church with keys and coins (had taught them “not in the mouth”). In a few months she could spend hours with a slotted bank with the stopper out of the bottom and a bowl of coins next to it. Those are some staples for sure!
Great idea Kate!
Unfortunately, I’ve found that cell phones also work pretty well.
I know–Alice has chewed on my phone many a time. =)
Pic #3 looks like she’s the new spokes-baby for Honda. Too cute!
haha nice. i’ve had friends’ babies/small children play with and/or “lose” my keys. 🙂 super great toy!
My girls were fascinated with my keys, too! So cute!
Dennis always says that we don’t need to buy our kid toys because they love everyday things so much more! Usually if you get them a big toy, they have more fun in the empty box. Alice is so cute, and the one with her sticking the key in her nose and cracking up is hilarious!
Alice is super cute for sure but I can’t help remembering this PSA that I saw regarding battery safety:

Just another thing to keep us on our toes! I have known moms that have kept a “toy” set of real keys from a collection of spares, having been disinfected (any batteries removed), but still including interesting grown-up textures like metal, plastic and leather.
Thanks for your comment Jessica! Yep, safety is so important, and I wasn’t even thinking about battery safety so thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Agree… agree…. always works 🙂
