My kids have a box of paper and (washable) markers in the playroom. I often come into the dining room to find the box open and its contents spread across the kitchen table. Colin is the worst. He often has marker on his face, arms and hands. But it doesn’t stop there. There is marker all over my table, too!
Tips for our sticky situations:
1. Parental supervision! It doesn’t matter if I am folding clothes, washing dishes or going to the bathroom. Maybe I need to stop the “chores” and sit with my kids to color!
2. Put a rain coat on my kid! 😉
3. Put down a disposable table cloth before letting my kids use markers.
4. Have Wet Ones handy for easy clean up!
Do your kids create sticky messes? Have you ever taken a photo of that sticky situation?
Wet Ones has launched a Sticky Situations Facebook contest asking Moms to share their helpful and creative tips on how to get out of a ‘sticky situation.’ Simply share your story & tips, and you can be entered to win an iPad Mini or Six Flags Tickets!
