Three for the price of one today!
This one I remember my own Mom teaching me. It’s to help with those bunched up sleeves under all those winter jackets. As soon as your toddling little one can follow a direction this is helpful. Notice, my 21 month old is not doing this, but the 3 1/2 year old is! Tell them to do the “sleeve trick” then teach them to hold their sleeve with their hand. They have to master holding it the whole time until they see their hand again.
This next one is how to help little hands peel stickers from a sticker sheet. My kiddos always have trouble getting ahold of the sticker and then not ripping it. So I peel away the in-between sticker thingy and throw it away. Then all they have left are the stickers themselves. So much easier and less frustrating for them.
This last one is a trick I just learned from my cousin-in-law (that is a word, right?) over Thanksgiving. Where’s this been my whole life?! Pull the little triangles up before you give them the juice box, and then tell them to hold the box by its “ears.” No more accidental squirting out all over them! Wow.
