Thanks to Jen for this Frugal Baby Tip!
Hi, I have a frugal baby tip to share. Instead of buying expensive wooden toys for our baby, my six-year-old and I create them out of his fiddlesticks (Tinkertoys).
We try to make it so the parts that can get in his mouth are the unpainted pieces. We save money and the baby gets a new toy everyday.
**** Please note that Tinkertoys is meant for ages 3+ only ****

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
