Use an empty baby wipes container to store travel snacks for your kids.
Make eating healthy snacks fun by putting them in an ice cube tray.
For school lunches, freeze the juice box and use it as an ice pack.

SOLVING BOREDOM HACKS
At the doctor’s office: Let your little ones draw on the exam table paper; it gets thrown away after your visit anyway. The creativity will calm your kids down before the visit.
Get help looking for missing items and have a scavenger hunt for your missing sunglasses, keys, headphones or whatever.

BABY & TODDLER HACKS

Put a command hook on the back of a high chair to hang bibs.

Of course our favorite parenting hack is letting us cut your little one’s hair. Take the frustration and fear out of haircuts; stop by Snip-its and talk to a kid’s hair expert. You can also save money by picking up a Value Pack—it’s the cheapest way to get multiple regular haircuts. They haircuts never expire and can be used anytime. Happy Father’s Day—have a great day celebrating parenthood and family fun.
