Instructions to Make a Baby Gym

This project is so easy we were able to assemble it in Home Depot. When you buy the pieces, the PVC piping comes in two-foot lengths. So be sure to have an employee cut them for you in the store. You can even choose other pieces to create your own unique baby gym.

These are all the parts needed to assemble the homemade play gym. Total: $12.91.


This is a corner piece. 3/4 inch PVC, 90 degree corner pieces. Need 4.


This is the cross piece. Need one.


This is one of the leg caps. Need 4.


This is the top of the play gym. It uses the one cross piece, and 4 - one foot pieces of 3/4 PVC pipe.


This is a leg. It is made up of a cap, one 18 inch piece of 3/4 PVC pipe.


This is the final product of the play gym. We are going to buy fabric to make sleeves for the pipes. We will post picture once we have time to finish that little project. Maybe for our next FHE.

Following the Prophet

So tonight for our family home evening we decided to follow the counsel of the general authorities from the latest conference and read the talk by President Ezra Taft Benson entitled, "Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet". We had a great discussion about the fourteen points and then sang primary songs with Anders about the prophet. It was a lot of fun. As part of our activity we followed the counsel given during the priesthood session to set up profiles on mormon.org. It was actually a great experience and was great at getting us thinking about basic aspects of our testimonies. Then we decided to make a homemade play gym for Anders. We are so proud of it that we have an instruction guide for anyone else that would like to make one. It is significantly cheaper than any play gyms we have found and we think it is better than the store bought one because it is customizable.
