Play Wall

One of my most genius ideas yet. Yes, I will toot my own horn on this because this play wall has saved me hundreds of early morning hours of sleep. When I built this play wall next to Grace's bed, she found something interesting to do for a few mintues to an hour or more in the early morning hours before calling for me to come get her out of bed.

Grace moved to a big girl- double bed when she was 2&1/2. A big girl bed doesn't have rails to hang toys from so I took her crib apart, turned one of the rail sides on end and stuck it between the bed and the wall. I needed to put the egg crate foam behind the crib rails to protect the wall. I used to rotate the toys occassionally but these are Grace's favorites and they keep her content the most. The weight of the bed pushed up against the wall keeps the rails perfectly straight and they don't move at all.
