Household objects your child likes to take to bed with them.

My little one is currently obsessed with a whisk.

I was literally just looking through old photos and found one of my kid at the playground cradling my empty shower gel container.

A travel container for a soap bar

We had a coconut for a while.

Mine likes to use tea towels to wrap her dolls in as dolly blankets. I found 4 tea towels in her bed recently

Mine also likes a whisk! (17 months)
A guy I met online dating many years ago told me he became fixated on his family's Henry Hoover when he was five years old and asked to take it to bed at night with him so it wouldn't get lonely under the stairs

She used to take a big potato, or the brush attachment from the hoover.

Awwwww

Haha

These are all so cute

The latest thing is an empty bottle of Tropicana Orange juice.. God forbid I try to extract it from her whilst asleep.. Won't be doing that again 😅

My youngest loved a disposable mop head that she found at my mums. It was new and clean but "Moppet" was carried around with us for a good couple of months until it started to look like we had given our toddler an old used mop head to play with.

Green plastic ikea tongs
Various precious stones
Top of the salad spinner

DS used to like wooden spoons, so I got some and drew faces on them. Which was massively upsetting because he was using them as drumsticks.

😁

Plastic gnome

Small watering can. (no water, obviously - I said the can could only sleep when empty)

An old iPhone and a tennis ball. She cuddles the ball all night long

My ds took a bucket of potatoes to bed with him one day 🤷‍♀️

I have a photo of my son who is now 11, with a mr kipling fondant fancy in his hand. He asked to go to sleep with it; he must have been about 3. He kept going on and on and in the end I just gave in. I removed it when he had fallen asleep 😂

My dd took a head of broccoli to snuggle up to one night

Awww emotional support items, I miss those days. Mine used to like to find things on a walk - rocks / stones / random bits and they would stash them in a poo bag and they were precious for a week or so.

The worst was when dt1 found a stinky dead crab on the beach. He was special apparently and she slept with this thing in her bed, in a poo bag for over a week until I could find a suitable acceptable replacement toy from Amazon. We still have him now, 11 years later. There was no arguing with her she was keeping that dead crab. She was around 3 and a half at the time.

Potato, carrot, clothes hanger, tongs, it's usually a toy and a different one each night but then other nights it's a random object. He always wakes up and asks for the object he took to bed - never forgets what he took!

😂 I love these.
DD is only 1 so I haven't had this yet but I'm now looking forward to it!

A strawberry.

I watched him like a hawk and snatched it away from him the second he was asleep.

Large chains of empty boxes and fruit punnets sourced from the recycling bin and taped together with masking tape. Sometimes with coloured paper glued on, or stickers. Named “my spaceship”, my underwater village” or similar.

My eldest used to take a bus ticket
