I have yet to find a decent toy store in Korea. Being a resourceful former Peace Corps volunteer, I have re-purposed ordinary things into baby toys.
A beach ball is a baby exercise ball, he can stretch and balance.
Laundry balls are baby balls that he can hold and chew. Toss them in with a load of baby laundry and they are ready for play.

Very resourceful! I sometimes think that children prefer to play with everyday objects rather than actual toys. My children love cardboard boxes, they can be anything they desire; cars, houses, building blocks and loads more.
