It is the funnest and most colorful meme in the blogosphere!

The Little One has been quite imaginative lately … turning almost anything he sees into something to play with. It occurs to me that perhaps I no longer need to spend money on toys when apparently there are toys just sitting all around for free! Here are some the latest additions to the Little One’s toy chest (with a brief translation for those of us who don’t have quite as much imagination in us).
The only real drawback of these newfound toys is that they could potentially harbor little bugs!
Preparing for the collapse of the Lego Corporation once we pull our toy dollars,
This brought back many memories of my son's imaginary play times. Here we spend tons of money on lots of toys and he goes outside and plays with rocks and sticks.
AHAHAHAHA! Princess Nagger has some of those same 'toys' – especially the dinosaur related ones.
ooh, i'm liking this idea. as always, you are brilliant, jenners!
Can he find me a straight jacket for a squirrel?
What a great imagination! My little one does things like that too, but she uses my flowers as fairies that "dance" in our driveway..
He plays with more than legos? lol I guess with his wicked imagination you shouldn't buy any more toys!
I can totally relate! I'm staring at a PILE of toys, larger than any kid should have. And what is my toddler playing with? A bath towel, a diaper box and a belt. *sigh*

That's the best kind of play. Our kids love big cardboard boxes that turn into ships, houses and UFOs…
Fret not, little bugs that live in things like that don't find people tasty, or they'd have already been inside I think. What a well stocked trunk!
Free is my favorite 4 letter "F" word, and those are all such fun toys!
Hello! This was such a cute post! I've actually seen Etsy shop crafts that wrap acorns with smiley faces on them in little scraps of cloth. They sell 'em on leaf beds for big bucks. Really… your kiddo might be onto something marketable here.
That's awesome. I love kid's minds! I feel like I've lost so much of that imagination.
quite the imagination I wonder where he gets it.
I think the Little One's imagination could single-handedly fund the Mr. and Mrs. Jenners Retirement Fund! Go, Little One!
You are going to save a fortune. And he is going to have some great memories using his wonderful imagination!
imaginations are awesome! DOWN with toys!
I would play with all those toys..um, things
Sounds fun to me!
Wow – he's creative!! Wonder where he gets that from???
You must get the book "Not a Box." Right now … scoot!
Love that imagination. It is funny how kids bring home all sorts of souvenirs from outside. The most boring rock can be the coolest discovery for them.
Sounds like he has a fantastic imagination!! That's great!
LOL my son does the same kinda stuff.. he has 3 toy boxes full of toys that he rarely plays with! I need to donate them to make room for rocks and sticks! haha
Looks like a great imaginations going on! Why buy toys when you don't have to?
Wow, your trees have given you your money's worth! I always noted how small babies can have just as much fun banging around with pots and pans as with expensive clever teach-them-to-be-genius toys. Personally however I'm sure I would be a genius today if I had had Baby Einstein instead of Baby Betty Crocker!
Sticks are the "cardboard box" of our house. Give Ace a stick and he's occupied for hours. And dangerous.
Our son also has tiys and more toys. What do I find him playing with this morning? An empty diaper box, that has been our morning of fun:)
Your Little one has a great imagination, I loved your post.
Have a wonderful day!

He has a great imagination! You better lay in a big supply of bark
Been there- lived that…
Have a great Tuesday!

If he keeps this up, you may be able to rescind your book-buying ban…let the Little One go through the trash can and the junk drawer – he may fill another toy box with the stuff he garners!
And all that dryer lint? It could be insulation for leprechauns!
That kind of play just makes me smile and remember my own childhood. I love this!
