My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
Hi I am starting a childcare center and I was wondering if any one had any good ideas about making icepacks, I need to have something that can be reusable. I know that you can take sponges and cut them up and put in a plastic bag in the freezer but I was wondering if there was anything more creative.
I have also found it is better to use a red, brown, or patterned washcloth. Sometimes the site of blood can upset little ones and the color or pattern will help disquise it. You can also get some small re-freezable ice blocks (made to be used in drinks) and keep them in the freezer. Some of them even have cute patterns on them or small items inside (of course that may make them want to eat them) then there is the old teething ring that could be used in a pinch too.
The only problem is that I need something that can be reusable Kids always bump their heads etc and I dont know if financialy the bunnys would be good. I do love the idea and it is so cute.
Here's a recipe that I have... Gel Pack 3 parts water, 1 part rubbing alcohol. Mix then seal in freezer bag, then just to be sure no leeks...place in a second bag. Place in freezer. The more alcohol you use, the softer the pack will be, making it more gentle on the Boo Boo. I have never done these, but I know some that have made them. Good Luck!!!
Cheri - That sounds pretty neat. I am a preschool teacher and think I will give it a try. Also, you can throw away the outside bag and replace it after use for sanitary issues. Barb :)
For bigger boo-boos, a bag of frozen peas in a zip lock bag. It can mold around the injured area. Put back in freezer and reuse. Our school uses what Barb said, an ice cube or two in a sandwich bag. The kids feel like they've been cared for and usually put it down very shortly.
