DIY: Toddler Musical Wall

When Baby J was 15 months old, I created a musical wall for her to bash on outside on our deck. Ironically, our neighbors moved a month later. 0_o Anyways, I wanted to encourage Baby J, who was still crawling, to stand up and explore the world from a new height. This wall was just high enough for her to lean on and definitely got her up on to her feet. 

I found the wood in the shed, the stainless steel pot lids and aluminium pie tin from the recycle centre and the bell, xylophone and triangle from the $2 shop.  

9 months later this toy is still very popular and has been nicknamed, "The Doo Doo Wall." I have recently replaced the xylophone ($8) and changed it to its side as the other layout caused the chimes to slip out and was quite annoying.  I look forward to this toy evolving over the years as things rust or we find new things to bash on. Definitely cheap at $20 to create and  has had hours of play, with heaps of life left in it.
