Children playing outside is fine, but it can't be said that they are very good at leaving snow on the right side of the door. Here are some tips to help them.
Shake off the snow
Start by asking the children to remove most of the snow from their pants and coats before entering. By clapping, their mittens will get clean too.
A doormat
Several kinds of very rough doormats can effectively wipe boots outside. Just shake it from time to time so that it does not end up under the snow.
An entrance mat
There are a lot of nice, very thin rugs on the market. These rugs make a good impression when guests arrive at your home, but they don't absorb very well. In order to prevent your floor from absorbing the rest, get a good thick and absorbent mat for the entrance, which is not waterproof underneath. If it were, the rubber layer could trap water between the carpet and the floor and ruin your floor, especially if it is wood.
A very large bag
Put a bag in theavailable for children to put on their coats, pants, mittens and toques. You can hang it on the entryway wall so they get used to using it every time they come in.
The bathtub
Take your big bag to the bathroom and dry clothes in the bath, the only place that really doesn't mind humidity.
A mitten holder
A mitten holder is the best way to dry mittens quickly and not be caught off guard when the kids want to go back to the yard to add the man's nose or finish the fort.
Dry the hallway floor
If your children often play outside, remember to dry the entrance floor a little with a heater when they return so that it does not rot.
Boot dryer
The joy of going out with already warm boots or skates is priceless. If you didn't know this little wonder, know that it takes a little longer to act than a hair dryer, but it is effective and will help you end the winter with smelly boots. almost the rose. You'll find some at Canadian Tire for $69.99.
A bench
By leaving a bench in the entrance for the children to sit on to take off their boots, they will not tend to come forward inhome to find the nearest chair.
Breathe
Even though this whole time is demanding, take the snow that's left on the floor and make it into balls to throw outside rather than getting angry. By dint of being exasperated by the mess, you may have less snow on the floor, but it will be because the children will play outside less. Be patient and relax. Spring will be here in a few weeks and you'll soon be bored of the flushed cheeks and the smell of hot chocolate.
