Sometimes parents just need a reminder of the simple things we can do to help protect our kids… I often look at these and think why didn’t I think of that? You don’t have to spend a fortune on childproofing! Try these hacks…
Childproofing Hacks:
1. Lego & Small Toys
Have you ever wondered the sheer scale of germs left on toys? If you want to keep the flu and colds away be sure to do this every so often.
2. Dice
Controlling where the dice gets thrown with little ones around is not always easy, plus they always seem to vanish. Here is a great tip to make sure they stay together and stay in one place.
3. Ice Pack
What a brilliant hack! Kids never like to have ice, as it is, so by doing this adds a little fun and excitement plus it does the job.
4. Missing Kids
We wouldn’t wish this on anyone but public places are extremely stressful parents. This handy tip ensure if your child gets lost you at least have a very recent photo of them AND what they are wearing.
5. Hot Buckles
Ouch! And what a simple solution?
6. Telephone Number Bangles
Such a simple but effective solution and the kids will love to decorate the bangles themselves.
7. Temporary Tattoos
This is a great solution if you are going away on holiday.
8. Secret Spray

9. Shoe Sticker
“Banana Feet’ comes to mind! What a great idea…
10. Save those little fingers!
A little elastic band can save many a tear.
11. Trampoline Safety
If you have a trampoline you will know the plastic sheeting over the coils never lasts long, so if you like most parents with an older trampoline this is a great way to cover the coils.
12. Door Handles
Every kitchen cabinet and white goods have different angles and sizes and often it’s hard to find the right fixture, but how is this for a simple DIY solution?
13. Upper Floor Windows
Like most houses, the bedrooms tend to be on the upper floors. For your own peace of mind and to keep the little ones safe, get one of these.

14. Books
This is a brilliant idea, instead of removing your books from the shelf just do this!
15. DIY Non-Slip Socks
Most toddlers hate to wear shoes and when the alternative to keeping those little toes warm is socks, this poses as a risk with those slippery floors. But what a great idea this is and it’s not expensive. Using Tulip Slick Paints.
