Have you ever felt the stabbing pain of stepping on an action figure with your bare feet? What about the scary feeling of almost falling due to slipping on a toy ball or a doll scattered around the house? If you answer yes to both, chances are you have a kid at your home and, from the sound of it, a messy one at that.
Well then, here is something that will definitely help the unruly situation at home; the toy hammock.
It is a fairly simple idea with a multitude of benefits.
The Toy Container The product is basically a spin-off to the traditional toy chest where kids usually throw all their toys in when done playing with them.
For the toy hammock, the bulky toy chest has morphed into a light and adjustable container one can put practically anywhere in the house.
Basically, it has two main parts; the net, and the hooks.
First, of course, is the net; which is the actual container of the toys.
Before buying this type of container, one has to first determine what types of toys one will be putting into that container and choose a net that will fit the requirements perfectly.
The other part is the hooks, which sometimes are suction cups, depending on the product.
These hooks or suction cups are then used to hang the container anywhere around the house.
This gives kids access to it when they want to play with a toy and then easily toss the toys back in when they're done.
Its Benefits The toy hammock has a lot of benefits for parents and children alike.
For parents, you avoid the stepping on and consequently breaking your kids' toys, sometimes even forcing you to buy them new ones.
And, because of its adjustability, one can place one anywhere in the house with minimum space taken unlike the traditional toy chest.
For the kids, it makes clean up a snap.
Just toss them in when they're done and that's it.
It also allows for quickly locating toys; thus, decreasing the amount of toys lost or misplaced, which is certainly something kids are prone to do.
Where is it Available and How Much The toy hammock is available in all toy stores or in the Internet ranging from anywhere between $6 to 80$.
The $6 hammock usually just includes the bare minimum, while the $80 hammock usually have others features like designs, durability, adjustability and even features that classifies it as a toy in itself.
With this type of availability, price range and variety, parents no longer have any excuses to not have one in the home.
