So, join us as we explore a treasure of ideas that will not only make your parenting journey smoother, but will also help you become the parent your kids can’t help but be impressed by.

1. Waterproof socks

Let your kids play in the rain and have fun jumping in the puddles, while feeling comfortable with these DIY waterproof socks. To make them, you’ll only need your preferred pair of socks and a glue gun.

  • Put the sock on one of the shoes of your little one
  • Cover with hot glue the sole and tip of the socks
  • Let it cool and take the sock off the shoe

2. Safe beach oasis

Make a beach day a lot more fun by building an oasis for your kids. With this hack, you’ll be able to relax as they play safely in their own little piece of sea, jujst for themselves.

Things you’ll need:

  • A shovel
  • An inflatable pool
  • Water

How to do it:

  • Dig a hole in the sand, where your child can fit seated
  • Cover the hole with the plastic pool, without inflating it
  • Fill the hole with water and through your kid’s favorite toys in

3. Taking cool pictures

Create great memories with pictures that reflect your kids’ happy spirit. Instead of asking them to stand still for a picture, have them perform their best dance moves and capture your children as they bring out a genuine happy face.

4. A bathtub in the shower

Not having a bathtub in your house shouldn’t be an obstacle for your kids to enjoy a tub experience, anymore.

  • Blow up a small inflatable tool that fits inside your shower cubicle
  • Put the pool inside and fill it with water and bubble soap
  • Let your kids play inside

5. Safe doors

Prevent your children from being at risk of getting their fingers trapped in a door in your house. You’ll just have to use a pool noodle and a cutter.
