Montessori-Inspired Baby Gym (An IKEA Hack)

On a budget, I purchased the LEKA Baby Gym from IKEA.

 It looked like this:

Here's what mine looks like now:

I removed all plastic pieces from the wood frame, donated the toys, and painted the red parts white.

I used a similar approach to IKEA for hanging my DIY'd toys. I found round wood slices at a craft store, drilled a hole in the middle and threaded my ribbon through.

 

My inspiration for toys came from a "Montessori Baby" search on Etsy. You can see the rest of our infant play space and DIY Montessori-inspired toys here.
