Basketball Party

Hi B.,

For crawlers, I would be a little cautious about something hacky-sack sized. With this age group, everything is going to go straight into the mouth. Just make sure everything is too big to swallow and isn't made with (or dyed with) a substance that shouldn't be ingested.

Best of luck,

Mira

I have a personalized party favor business and have some cute basketball themed favors you might be interested in. Check out my website at www.littleshopoffavors.com. I also give a 10% discount to Mamasource moms!

Sounds like fun! The crawlers aren't likely to use the "hoops", but I know that my crawler loves to chase after balls. You could get a couple of grapefruit sized balls and let them crawl around with those. V-Tech makes a great ball that may be $$ (ours was a gift) that rolls on its own and the baby has to crawl after it. It sings, lights up and has buttons to push. Our peanut loves it!

I wouldn't worry about the crawlers too much, their Moms will probably be happy just with other Moms to hang out with. Before mine walked, I brought their own little toys to play with when we went anywhere.
