Throwing Things!!

[Buxterboo]

My son is in a "phase" right now. Hes seems to think its the greatest thing EVER to throw things. He doesnt throw AT people just tosses them around the room. Sometimes it hits me and my husband, sometimes it doesnt. Any advice on how to get him to stop? "No" isnt working... He just thinks its funny Im worred that when I start accepting kids next week, he will be throwing things and a kiddo might get hurt...:confused:
Edited to add: He is only 19 months old

" I can't let you throw ____________(blocks, cars, whatever it is), because it might hurt someone. if you want to throw things you can throw these _________( balls, socks into a basket, newspaper balls into a coffe can, whatever it is that you can offer). Rrpeat it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME he throws something innapropriate..

Newspaper balls in a garbage can is a great idea!
