SAVE PROTECT AND SHOW OFF YOU KIDS ART PROJECTS When your kids have brought home an abundance of paintings and drawings from school and you find yourself overwhelmed. Then laminate the pieces and put them into a small 3-ring binder Mark the binders with the year, your child's name and grade and maybe a school picture from that year. Not only will it organize and protect those precious treasures for years to come. HOW TO WASH A BABY'S HAIR WITH LESS FUSS When a baby is having their hair washed, they always try and breathe as the water is going over their face, and swallow water which causes a crying baby. If you blow on their face just before you pour the water, they instinctively take a deep breath in, so then you can rinse their hair while they are exhailing.(NOTE ITS BEST TO ALWAYS TRY AND KEEP THE WATER FROM GOING IN THEIR FACE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BUT ITS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE) TEETHING IDEAS Babies love to chew on frozen peas when teething. It feels good on their gums, and the texture is fun. Experiment with frozen sliced grapes and other fruits too. Banannas work nice too and they are larger and easy to hold, cut a bananna into 3 peices and that will work wonders. MAKE EVER BABY WIPE USABLE (AND WET TOO) When you keep your baby wipes upside down, the top one is always moist and never dry. Turn the container over and they are all moist down to the last one. EASY IDEA TO KEEP PRESCHOOL AGED CHILDREN ENTERTAINED In a clean plastic water bottle, combine equal parts water tinted with food coloring and cooking oil. Make sure the lid is secured tightly. When your child moves the bottle, the liquid concoction swishes like an ocean wave. Also add glitter to the oil or water.
