Door Stopper
As you may have noticed by now, pool noodles can be very useful household tools! Getting fingers caught in slamming doors is every parent’s concern when your kids start to get old enough to go from room to room by themselves. Spare yourselves the stress by placing a piece of a pool noodle on the side of the door to stop it from slamming.
Quieter Toys
If your child has a loud toy which is particularly annoying to you, just tape a piece of tape over the speaker. It should still make a sound but will tone it down a notch.
