I am sure people educated in child psychology have a Latin or Greek one-word description, or a clever acronym for what I am about describe, but since I don't know that word, I am going to have to use more than just one word to describe some of the favorite "toys" Nina enjoys on a daily basis.
name: the bottledescription: an empty vöslauer water bottle with an unusually shaped bottle cap
features: the jagged bottle cap provides just what a teething baby needs
name: the cable
description: a coaxial cable not needed any more
features: perfect for practicing two-dimensional to three-dimensional transformation at any time, also good to chew on
name: the boxesdescription: a box with a single pill of tums in it and a box with some mints in it
features: these are the best items to create noise with - they rattle, also when banged against things (especially hardwood floors or tiles) they make a much louder noise
name: the clamp
description: a fairly cheap clamp for holding things together after gluing them together
features: it provides a sense of seriousness to everyday playtime and ample preparation to any little girl who wants to be able to hang a picture or change a light bulb by herself as an adult
name: the cupsdescription: a paper cup from haagen-dazs and an empty yogurt cup
features: you can chew on it and when putting it into your mouth it can be held by your lips, so you have a free hand to pick something else up, it also amplifies your voice when screaming into it
name: the roll
description: a big roll of clear packing tape
features: thanks to it's unique shape this item provides an endless source of amusement, because you can talk straight through it, but you can also chew on it
name: the coastersdescription: half a dozen of coasters with van Gogh paintings on them, from the Louvre in Paris (thanks Garth and Gabi)
features: besides being a priceless educational resource, it is also something to (once again) chew on
name: the tins
description: an empty starbucks tin of chewing gum and an empty tin of candies from London (thanks Imre)
features: these metal items will help any baby make as much noise as they can by banging - very annoying items to own indeed

How about keys? Does Nina have access to any keys? Those are Benjamin's favorite. And chapstick.
No, she does not play with keys yet. She played with chapstick once, but she wanted to shove it right down her throat, so the item got banned.
one greek word???????
Hmmmmmmm....
how about: RΠ ?
Lazo
another great example of why not to buy very stupid and way too expensive toys that kids never touch anyways...creative little girl:-)
she's already proving proficiency in the visual arts...picking from an array of shapes, textures, colors, brands...
an artist in the works, i can feel it.
auntie kenzie is proud.
