Being parents means being creative. Here you have some tips that can make your day easier and commit your children to help at home:
- Cut a sticker and place a half on each shoe, so your child knows which shoe goes on each foot.
- Use an empty bottle of baby shampoo to make your child wash his/her hands easier.
- Buy or knit a funny hat. You can be sure your child will not take it off.
- Make a hammock with a bed sheet or quilt. You can tie it to a table.
- You can recycle a crib to make a desk.
- Placing a swinning spaghetti on your child’s bed border will avoid falls.
- A DVD case can be used as a pencil case.
- Soap dispensers can help filling water balloons.
- Trace a mark under the toilet paper roll to let your child know how much he/she needs.
- Make a beaded bracelet with your telephone number. If your child strays, people can reach you.
- Put a plastic cup lid under the popsicle and it will avoid your child gets sticky.
- Put a rubber band on the doorknob to avoid the door closes.
- Cover the play pen with a sheet while the baby is outside, in order to protect her from heat and bugs.
- Trace your child’s foot shape on a paper, so you can buy shoes with no need to bring him/her to the store.
- If your child is afraid of monsters, you can crelate a gun using an empty spray bottle (with trigger).
- Use a piece of a swimming spaghetti to keep the door open and protect your child’s hands.
- Fix some shoe boxes to one side of the dresser. They can be used to organize books or toys.
- Have your child clean up his/her toys by gathering them on a determined tile of the flor, as if it were a game.
