50 Parents Who Thought Outside The Box And Shared Their Genius Discoveries With Others (New Pics)

Gonna try that with the wife 😂

smart

I did dots and when they "kissed" the shoes were on right. It was the same trick my mom used when I was little. I call this a timeless or tried and true trick!

BRILLIANT!

Cute!

That's so cute! A "good job/you did it" smile.

Great idea!

I will use this trick on a pair of shoes, where it is very difficult to tell the left from the right until I put them on, which is a hassle when I need to be somewhere at a specific time.

I've also heard of cutting a sticker in half and putting one part on the back side of the shoes.

You've just made a billion dollars.

BRILLIANT !

A Dutch brand does this with rain boots

Awesome paste really. Makes your mouth feel all fizzy like while cleaning. It's great

I used to have a dog that loved to go to "see the fishies," at Petsmart.

I’m really impressed with some of the ideas here.

True love.

You're a genius!!!

well i used to have a nokia before i got a hand me down huawei. its not that bad u can play snake 😂

Do they wake you up after 10 minutes, though?

This would also be really cool with some glow-in-the-dark paint and handheld blacklights.

my mom did this when i was younger, and i didn't find out until a few years later :")

smart

Bubble's are fun 😊

Some places use Milk Duds.

Perfect for babies or golden retrievers!

gonna do this

Really good fun activity and it is also a teaching method. :)

my inner five year old is enchanted

"Hours of entertainment" LOL.

True but it depends on how dedicated said spouse is 😭😅😃

Tricky & cute 😎

You could try this with lavender essential oil. Spiders apparently hate the smell, so that would turn it into an actual spider spray.

I did this. I bought a large commercial size bounce house. Sure it cost $1,500. But I used it for six birthdays and multiple random days. At a rental cost of $200, I've paid it off. Now it sits in the garage waiting for grandkids.

Clever!

Airports are big places for little legs.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work for e.g. Toyotas, which have their gas cap on the left side. At least if your country has right-hand traffic.

Good idea.

This person clearly lives in the UK! An alternative wiper is an old flannel, which you can use fro cleaning little hands or other items too.

Hmmm glowing vomit

Wish i got paid for chores lol

Or a handbeld shower head works too if you have that feature on your bath.

Oh so they cant push the pump down as far?

awwww

My mom took my brown small checkered blanket from my crib as a baby and made a horse head on a stick when I was older. I thought that was really cool repurposing.

Or you can just say no.... Perhaps an unpopulair opinion but i don't see why she should get something everytime you go to daycare or whenever she says she wants something. I suppose she goes to daycare right after breakfast, so she just ate and probably isn't hungry. When she really is hungry there are better alternatives like a banana, apple, grapes, cherrytomatoes, cucumber or a sandwich from home.

My son still asks for broccoli over fries. He loves veggies. Got lucky, only thing I could say is I would make it for dinner with the rest of the food. We all eat the same thing and he could ask for more food if he ate what he had on his plate. Never made a big deal of it other the commenting occasionally how much I loved mine.

Smart. Will use this for myself!

Can't help feeling he'll need more than 10 minutes to wash this off later ...

Also useful on the sides of beds to keep from rolling off. It’s a fun house, trust me.

I made surprise eggs with small things in them he would get to pick out. Stickers, a couple mnms, small play doh, mini figures. Would reuse the eggs and the contents ended up being about a quarter or less each. He loved the surprise. Though he ended up where he would go and sit in the bathroom repeatedly trying to get the eggs lol. Worked though and eventually convinced him it only counted when he really had to go.

You should unravel Christmas lights at all times! Due to electricity heat.. Edit: indeed led lights use way less electricity so it is less important. Furthermore it is not about the light itself but when you roll them up the electric wire acts like a coil (?) that amplifies the electricity. Source: husband is an electrician

And don't forget that a vaccuum is a great way of organizing that hair!

And here I am separating my laundry into just three categories: light colors, dark colors, bedding and towels. If something does not survive this proces, it was clearly not meant to be.

Seen them in big w but was unsure if they were good

Still better than some modern art I've seen in museums

My kid had a toy that would talk for several seconds, then sort of turn off, but if you didn't turn off the switch. it would wake up when jostled and wake everyone else up. We fiinally threw it out. Down the trash chute in our apartment building. Where it landed at the very bottom. And apparently the trash men didn't always empty the trash chite down to the very bottom, so it would wake up when we (or probably anyone else in the building) threw their trash out. For weeks. And, given that context, just about ANYTHING can sound creepy as hell. "That was fun. Can we play again?" "You won't forget about me, will you?" "I'm going to be a good train from now on!"

I feel like that's the benefit of having a pig around?

Life hack: use an organiser to organise things.
