Child proofing your house can be expensive. There are always homemade tips and tricks to try that will
work the same as the expensive in store remedies. Here is a tip from Diana about using pool noodles for your
toddler that likes to open and close doors.
It's no secret that Simon is training to be
an champion olympic door-man. He's obsessed with opening and closing doors
wherever we go. People always think he's so polite in wanting to hold a door
open for others.
At home he loves to close doors, especially
those that I need to stay open like our bedroom door and the door to the
storage area where the kitty litter boxes are kept. The last thing I want is an
issue because one of the cats can't get to the litter box! Anything that we use
as a door stop can easily be moved. Even our 10 pound roller coaster wheel can
be slid out of the way. That's why I wanted something easy to install that
Simon couldn't undo but could be easily removed by us, if need be.
Introducing my toddler-proof door stopper:
It's a pool noodle that I picked up for a
$1. I cut off a piece about 6 inches long and then cut halfway through it to
the hollow center. That's it. Pop it onto the side of your door and
voila! No more worries about closed doors or fingers getting pinched. You can
probably get about 12 door stops out of one noodle. Look at the big brain on
Diana.
