2. Watch those fingers. Put a cut foam noodle on the door to keep that door from slamming.
3. Use that DVD case for a coloring case. Easy car storage. Here.
4. Extend that faucet just a bit more for toddler hands.
5. Put a pad lock on cords that you don’t want plugged in.
6. If your kids are sacred of Monsters. Make monster spray. Here. Now everyone can go back to bed.
7. Don’t let pesky mosquitoes eat the baby! Put a crib sheet over a play pin to keep the bites off. Here.
8. Eat in the car? Let you kids eat in the car? Try a dollar store carrier to decrease the spills! Here.
9. Glue holes in bath toys to prevent mold from growing on the inside. Yuck . Here.
10. Take a small spray bottle with 2 Tbs of fabric softener and water. Doll hairspray and it will help with the tangles!
11. Put a sticker in a pair of shoes so your little guy/girl can get them on the right foot the first time! Here.
12. Put magnets on the backs of your cups so they don’t get lost or the child keeps pulling out new cups. Here.
13. Those darn slippery princess slippers. Add a bit of hot glue to the front so they are not as slippery. Here.

I’m totally excited for #3 and 9.
These ideas are A-mazing!! Love them ALL!!
So many super clever ideas!
Another hack is putting hot glue on child socks to make them not slippery when the little ones start walking
You can also use puff paint, which might (?) stay on better. It’s also a great way to sort socks – diff. color of paint for each little walker. Works fabulously for anywhere you (or g’parents, daycare, etc.) lack carpeting.
#8 never, Never, NEVER in a moving car. If your child starts to choke, you have about 4 minutes until permanent brain damage sets in, and during those 4 minutes you have to find a place to pull over safely. Nobody eats in my car while it’s moving, not even me.
#17 is great for adults at water parks too!
is there a way to easily print these hacks and hand them over to Grandpa to apply:) (without advertisements of course?)
hi Alison, these are great! Thanks for sharing!
Great hacks! I never thought to use hot glue to plug bath toys.

Very nice article.

I prefer visual abuse over spankings. If you’re in the car unroll all the windows, find a radio station you like and start singing along. Pretending the steering wheel is a drum, air guitar, whatever. Use your imagination! I guarantee the older your kid, they more they won’t acknowledge you. Teens embarrass the most! ?
