Listen, if you’re a parent, you don’t need me to tell you that raising a child is really the hardest job in the world. Between trying to keep them safe and trying to entertain them, parenting is no joke. Fortunately, some smart parents have come up with ways to keep our kids safe and busy, and to help us, as parents, stay mentally healthy.
1. Activity Organizer
Going on a trip? Fill a shoe organizer with toys and activities your children can do on their trip. This will keep them from wondering “Are we there yet?” so often.
2. Snack Caddy
Speaking of car trips, an inexpensive shower cart is perfect for storing snacks, drinks and other items for the road. Give your child the car at the beginning of the trip and tell him to make the snacks last until he reaches his destination or decides to stop somewhere.
3. Bed Bumper Guards
Do your children constantly get out of bed at night? Strategically placed pool noodles and a fitted sheet can be used as a bumper.
4. No-Drip Popsicles
To keep your kids’ popsicles from dripping everywhere, stick a muffin lining on the bottom!
5. Hammock Hack
With a sturdy table and a sheet, you can make a do-it-yourself hammock in the comfort of your home.
