It's been her favorite toy for months. And this is a girl who is ordinarily board with a toy after 5 min. At her day care they have bottles with some water and floaty thing and another half full with glitter and yet another half full of sand. They're her favorites. My daughter LOVES this!

Made sure it was securely shut and watched the amazement. It sure is surprising how long 18 cents can entertain a child. We also have a mustard bottle version too!

I used an old margarine tub and filled it with cheerios for my son when he was 6 months old. I used packaging tape around the top for extra security, and it makes a cool crackling sound that he loves! You’re so right, buy them toys and they’ll play with the wrapping paper and bows instead!
