tuesday tip - link it up

i have seen this before and thought, 'wow, that's neat,' but i have never done anything with it.  until last month.  manning cannot keep a toy in his seat and then goes after his socks and/or shoes.  it has been a long winter of bare feet because they are warmer without the soaked socks.  enter the 'links'...

i took a chain of 'links' and wrapped it around the handle near the top of the door and then clipped on a toy.  even when he drops the toy it never gets too far from the seat and he can either reach it or the chain - perfect!  the other three are even jealous.  they have been asking for chains of their own to clip toys too but i had to explain that it wouldn't work for most of their books.

i simple solution that has kept many socks dry.  love.

Very innovative. Great idea - and safer too- I always would try to reach back and get fallen toys.

Great idea! I used those when my boys were little too - WOW, that was a long time ago!! One of the better toy companies came out with them. Bet Manning is much happier :)
