Here are 5 ways to reorgan your kitchen to make it more child friendly
1. Make a baby friendly snack station
Children like to get their own snacks, but trying to reach the counters or trying to dig through high shelves may be the cause of an accident. To make things easier, create a low, accessible snack station for them. Use a lower drawer or shelf to store healthy and part -part snacks such as fruit, granola bar, or trail mix. Adding small, label baskets can help them find out what they want without any disturbances.
2. Store baby-safe pot
Every time their utensils request, instead of catering, keep the child friendly dishes, cups and cutlery in the low cabinet. Use colorful, unbreakable plates and cups so that they can safely help themselves. If you add dividers or small compartments, it will be easy for the children to what they need them without finishing everything.
3. Child-proof danger area
If you have toddlers, security comes first. Ensure that sharp objects, cleaning supply, and breakable items are stored in high or locked cabinets. Use childproof cabinet latch or magnetic locks to keep dangerous and sharp objects out of access. For additional safety, consider having stove knob cover and corner protectors. In this way, your baby can detect the kitchen without worrying about accidents.
