Who here is good at remembering phone numbers? I have to admit I suck at it. I only remember a few, ha, ha. But I'm also a visual person, so that's good.
There is a #MomHack that's circulating online that is really helpful at teaching kids how to remember important phone numbers. I probably need to take this lesson, too.
Remember when I showed you a clever mom who developed a clean way for kids to do finger painting? Well, she's at it again. This time she has a great hack to teach the kiddos how to remember phone numbers.
You basically recreate the screen of the phone. That way, the kids can visualize punching the numbers. Aha! What a great idea, right? I mentioned that I'm a visual person, so this is typically how I remember things, too.
First, she copied the face of the phone and its numbers onto a Ziploc bag with a permanent marker. Then, she put some hair gel inside and sealed it up. After that, she glued it onto cardboard.
Then, she used a dry erase marker to write the phone number down. Now the kiddos can practice punching the numbers on the fake phone. Such a clever idea, huh?
I guess so it would be more fun for the kids to punch the numbers. They'll feel more they're pressing on something squishy, ha, ha! I sure like that idea.
It got about 415,000 likes on TikTok. Wow, that's great. Isn't it? Some folks commented that they're saving this idea for when they have kids. I bet it'll come in handy then.
Honestly, I usually try to repeat my own number a few times until my mind registers it. It also helps when you recite it to someone, too.
Why would a mom put it in your shoe? I guess she had to do it for every pair the kid had. That's a lot of work, ha, ha! Good for her, though.
Would you use it with your kids? Heck, I need to make this for myself, so I don't wear my phone out practicing on it. That's actually not a bad idea after all.
