You always hear that kids don't need fancy or expensive toys and that they can have fun with the simplest of things: cardboard boxes and toilet paper tubes and the like. We remember Jonah's cousin, Alex, rolling all over to get to the soda can. For Jonah, his favorite "cheap toys" are plastic water bottles and his mommy's hair. Mommy has mixed feelings about the latter - it's nice because she always has it along with her, but it can become an inconvenience when we need to do something serious (like feeding) and can be painful when he gets his hands on it. As for the plastic water bottles, they probably aren't all that good of a toy (who knows what is in the plastic or where it has been), but he definitely enjoys them and they motivate him to roll over, work on his grasp, etc., so they can't be all bad. He also seems to enjoy the newspaper and he loved the wrapping paper from Christmas presents (which also go immediately to the mouth).
Here he is having fun with the water bottle, December 13, 2010:
