Free things to do with BabyParenting is full-time work, of this we know. Which makes the invention of brilliant gadgets and toys to help aid us along the way truly wonderful. In this day of big brands and technology it can become easy to forget how simple it can be to entertain and play with our babies.

Bonding can happen in a multitude of ways and I've compiled the top 5 free things you can do with your baby at home or on the fly in your everyday…

1. Story-Time
Oh the reading. SO important. They may not always be into it and that wooden bracelet (or whatever other shiny-like object), may be infinitely more amazing than Good Night Moon. Making reading a regular part of your routine will turn them into little bookworms in the end, there's no doubt. I'm chalking this up as a freebie, because my friends - there's this lovely place we know as the library. Go out and support one if don't already do so, it is National Book Month after all! (You'll fall in love with them all over again).

I don't know about you, but I'm not a huge fan of "baby music". Sure I sing my fair share of "The ABC Song" and "Twinkle, Twinkle" throughout the day, but sometimes it's nice to listen to non-baby music with your little one. Bed time is a great time for this, because music can become a good part of your routine with Baby and choosing regular songs instead of baby specific songs can be fun, because when you hear them in the future you'll always remember them as party of your baby's bed time routine and look back on them with fond memories. I love mellow, folky music anyway, so compiling this list of bed time tunes wasn't much of a stretch. Here is my bed time play list for you AND your baby's listening enjoyment! -- By Lauren Hartmann
