Gloves, Hat, Scarf: 2 Tips To Avoid Losing Them at School.
It's winter and all parents take care to cover their little bits well before taking them to school: gloves, hat, scarf ... so many accessories that keep them warm.
But how not to lose them?
At school, it is common to find these objects hanging on coat racks, mislaid by their small owners.
Fortunately, I know 2 institute tips to avoid this ...
I had 30 kindergarten students for many years, and angry parents who spent a lot of time looking for the hat or the glove missing on the school premises. And who ended up having to redeem them !
However, there are simple tips to avoid losing them.
Gloves and magic thread
Whether gloves or mittens, just sew a long thread of wool braided from one to the other. For the length to be correct, take the measurement of the distance between your child's two hands with the arms crossed.
Then you slip the gloves thus retained in the sleeves of the coat and you let them overtake.
Impossible now to lose them!
The hat and scarf
Scarves are now banned in most preschools to avoid "headscarf-style" accidents.
But my tip also works with collars, snoods and neck warmers which are very practical for protecting children's throats.
So teach your child the following reflex: as soon as he takes off the hat and scarf, he puts them in the sleeve of his coat, from the inside, as in a small pocket.
Advantage : in addition to not losing them, he will no longer be able to forget to put them on before each recess since they will necessarily bother him when he puts on his coat!
This will ensure that it will be well covered during recess.
Bonus
To the pair of hat + scarf, I prefer, like all kindergarten teachers, Hood, just as protective and much less dangerous. Same way and very easy to put on!
