"Rip it off fast!" "Tear it off slloowwlly"... These are some mixed up solutions to removing an "owie" on ones skin. Want a simple, pain free, "natural" way of taking off a bandaid??
Things you will need:
- Love and kisses
- 2 Paper towels
- Olive/Vegetable oil
- More love and kisses
- Put some oil onto one of the paper towels (enough for the boo boo).
- You know those stick on tatoo's that our kids LOVE to wear when they have a fancy place to be at the next day?? ;) Well just like applying one of those, put the oiled paper towel onto the boo boo for about 2-3 minutes. Enough to saturate. (I know, I know... those of us with toddlers, patience is hard to come by. Maybe give them something to play with, or sing a song, or watch a short clip to entertain them).
- Remove the paper towel making sure the band aid is oiled up like the Tin Man.
- The band aid should now be removed with no effort and no tears.
I hope this finds some comfort in your home.
Like always, a great idea from you!
ReplyDeleteWish I knew that trick when raising my children.
