Use Your Noodle!



Just thought I would share a couple ideas with you all, of how I use my old pool noodles!

(After all, they ARE pretty amazing!)



At first, I saw (on Pinterest probably), a couple noodle recycling ideas, and thought "hmmm...cool.". Then I started to think of other ideas on my own. Here are my top three favorites so far:



A NOGGIN SAVER:

If you are like me, and you have a wooden perimeter on your changing table, and your little one is getting older (and taller), and likes to  sit up, then fall back... you've probably wiped a lot of tears, from the countless head bumps. As you can see here, a simple cut pool noodle, can make a simple diaper change, much less hazardous.


A DOOR-STOP:
A simple cut length of pool noodle, slid onto a door, can keep a toddler from getting stuck in or out of a room, and most importantly saves their little FINGERS, from accidently getting slammed in the door.


And now for my favorite new use...
 
THE ARTIFICIAL TREE TRUNK!

Please ignore the fact that my cords are still showing, my tree skirt isn't on yet, and that the previously mentioned toddler, has completely rearranged the ornaments and lights.

Now, I have also used pool noodles to make Halloween costumes, bath toys, and other various things.

So now I will ask you,

 
HOW DO YOU USE
YOUR NOODLE?
